I'm not. I prefer the Tor Project to make their decisions independently of Mozilla, which has a worse track record in most areas.

Additionally, tor isn't something that every Internet user should be using. I say this because when they get 10 ReCaptchas in a row, then try to log into their bank and have their credit card automatically frozen, then wonder why google search isn't working, then give up and just use Facebook all day anyway, they will definitely not be appreciating the 'anonymity' that we gave them.

The usability drawbacks are there because companies can afford to discriminate against Tor users. Once more people use Tor, it becomes expensive to not support them, and the usability issues present today are solved through innovation.

Regarding decision making, Mozilla integrating Tor into Firefox does not mean that the Tor Project has to give up its autonomy.
