It may sound dumb, but the only reason I don’t use FF is because of its UI. Somehow I think Chrome (and Safari) “look better” and make browsing more enjoyable. And this comes from a “techie” that knows exactly why, objectively, FF is probably better than Chrome in terms of privacy.

Can’t Mozilla “just copy” the look and feel of Chrome or Safari while keeping FF’s internals untouched?

I have the opposite view: Google feels so obsessed with pushing Google branding on Chrome users that the UI seems to constantly be suffering because of it. Apart from a recent discussion to remove the densest UI view, Firefox has generally provided a better, more user-oriented UI than Google.

They have a 'proton' redesign landing soon-ish parts of which you can enable via about:config options on dev/nightly that cleans things up a bit.

You can customize the UI using CSS. Look up userChrome.css.
