They're facts, but they aren't helpful on their own. The article is about convincing Chrome users to switch to Firefox. If all you do is criticize Mozilla - no matter how much they deserve it - then you are signalling to users that they should stay with Chrome. Despite Mozilla's many problems, I'm sure you'd agree that Google is even worse.
An alternative to Firefox needs to be offered at the very least, or all you're doing is helping Google keep its iron grip on the web.
The trend Mozilla is going is clearly seen. these facts show the trend. That was the purpose of my post, to show the direction they have chosen.
I do get the frustration of not having safe choice at the moment. People lash out because anyone critical of Firefox removes the last safe choice they had. Subconscious reaction is to attack the messenger, instead of realising the grim state of things.
I'd suggest sticking to Apple at the moment, for the lack of better alternative. It has no skin in Ads game, it sells expenssive devices with pretty good privacy and security. Private Relay is big pain in the ass for Google and Facebook, btw.
Might as well use Brave at that point if I'm tying my fate to Chromium, though I appreciate your confirmation that there's no non-Chromium option to prioritize over Firefox on Android.
Sounds like I'll stick with Firefox and consider it to be the primary non-Chromium recommendation for 74% of the world's smartphone users who aren't on Apple.
I use Safari with Wipr and iCloud Private Relay, better than FF if you have Apple devices.
