    The reason to promote Firefox is different. As far I’ve observed people here, Mozilla isn’t viewed in a particularly high regard here. It’s just viewed as the “less bad” option.

    Google is an ad company. Targeted ads pay more. Invasion of user privacy is highly necessary for having good targeted ads. Hence, Google simply cannot not invade user privacy.

    Mozilla is incompetent, yes. But it’s a non profit with a revenue model very different than that of Google.

    Blink has a scarily high share of the market. Google is blink’s curator. This gives Google a scarily large amount of power. That is another reason I’ve seen many cite as a reason to use Firefox.

    I’ve never seen anyone dick riding Mozilla.
