Firefox will never ask you to sign-in for the best browsing experience like chrome does. That's when I switched back. You can tell google is an ad company and users are secondary by their default choice of 3rd party cookies. I'd rather not have an ad company developing my browser. The incentives are all wrong.


While Firefox isn't an ad company, don't they get most of their revenues from Google's placement as the default search engine in Firefox?


They can accept the revenue from Google without compromising their integrity to the user.

If it wasn't Google then it'd be Microsoft. Doesn't really matter besides the fact that it helps them fund the development of their initiatives.


Do they ever make decisions just to help Google?
