When it comes down to it, Google is a for-profit company that makes money by selling targeted ads. Mozilla is not.

Or, in their own words, Google: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful

Mozilla: ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all

Intentions and goals matter.

Sure, but isn't it a variant of ad hominem? Or, well, ad collegium.

As long as Chrome itself really doesn't do anything particularly wrong, of course. But I think Google (probably because of lots of various rumors) went to great lengths to actually describe what they do and what they don't, and I haven't spotted anything particularly alarming in their privacy whitepapers.
