The only thing Mozilla has right now better than Chrome is that the APIs needed for uBlock Origin to work as intented exist.

chrome doesn't have container and having to manage tens or hundreds of profiles would be impossible.

.. and about a thousand less privacy violations. Plus significantly less ties to Google.

Even chromium-based web browsers are tightly coupled to Google. They rely on them for 99.99% of their source code. Mozilla just uses Google as the default search engine.

If I had to estimate, the developer time required for Mozilla to change the default search engine is ~.5 hours. In order for, say, Brave to not be dependent on Google, they'd have to spend ~100,000 dev hours. Because, you know, they'd have to completely develop a new web browser.
