Chrome isn't the only other option. There are tons of browsers that are more respectful of user privacy than Firefox:

- Firefox (but fixed with settings that are hidden from the user for some reason)

- IceCat, Waterfox, Pale Moon, etc.

- Ungoogled Chromium, Iridium, Qutebrowser, etc.

Mozilla's actions (Cliqz spyware integration, ads in the browser, Google analytics in the browser, locked enabled telemetry, etc.) show that their "commitment" to user privacy is just marketing.



> tons of browsers

So...some minor derivatives of Firefox, plus some hacked-on versions of Chromium. What are you going to do if Firefox goes away?
