> say they are opting into Chrome out of spite, which is 100x worse.
That is what is frustrating, indeed.
Firefox is not perfect. Nothing is perfect. There have been changes in Firefox over the years that I don't like. (I'm still hurting from it moving the tabs to the top, so annoying.)
In a scale of 1 (100% user-hostile) to 10 (absolutely perfect user-centered browser), Firefox only scores a, let's say, eight.
But chrome scores a solid 2, so obviously I'm not going to use it, ever, no matter if Firefox makes the occasional mis-step.
I concur that it is strange seeing the FF/Mozilla vs chrome arguments. Its almost as if some large percentage of users here relied on web ads for their income.
I would imagine a very small number of people on here rely on ads for income, but I could be wrong. That's just not the shape of company most devs work for.

Who do you think most developers work for?
Google, Facebook, two massive developer employers which are advertising companies.
There is a reason the quote βThe best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads" is famous.
Because so many developers are doing nothing but that, pushing advertising.
