I think Firefox gets hated on more than the others because they advertise putting the user in control but in practice they seem to undermine it at every opportunity.

A browser that puts users in control should make features like AI and advertising opt-in because there is a sizeable group of people who are concerned about those things. It's meaningless if they only put users in control who agree 100% with Mozilla's ways of thinking.

After so many times of blundering in ways that are favorable to their corporate sponsors, it's hard to believe they're not doing it on purpose.

So until people decide it's worth donating to.
or until they can go back to shipping a browser for under $400M yearly.
