Mozilla is almost exclusively funded by Google, and does what Google says it to do, like deprecating XUL and HTTP, and implementing manifest v3… One might argue the whole BAT thing has more merit than using a browser which existence is hanging on it being the Google’s anti-monopoly lawsuit insurance.
Some examples:
Mitchell Baker laid off 250 employees, including prospective Rust team, to increase her own salary two-fold
Firefox is full of telemetry out of the box, including the infamous Pocket which is all about tracking and now hardwired into the browser
Mozilla fully controls your browser, they can and do sometimes install addons remotely, including ones that are straight up ads
