The Mozilla Manifesto is very weird when you consider the context. Mozilla as we know it exists solely because Google needs a shield against antitrust investigations, and having a "competitor" browser that only takes 5% of the browser market is why Google pays Mozilla the majority of its revenue. Firefox is literally sponsored by Chrome.

I don’t know if you heard the news but they just stopped. Also Mozilla existed quite a while before Chrome.
Collect the $500M ad money and then turn around and claim Google is evil and they are the only company fighting for internet freedom and world peace.
