Mozilla ships Firefox with telemetry (aka spyware, given that it operates silently and automatically without consent) enabled by default. They also ship closed source DRM in the browser which infringes on software freedoms.
Mozilla doesn't actually care that much about privacy or freedom, it's just marketing to make line go up and to the right while Mozilla staff can keep collecting paychecks for being "the good guys". There's a lot of money involved.
There is a big disconnect between what they say and what they do.
They're not an ad company, so Google/Chrome is obviously worse, but if you care about privacy you don't ship a browser with surveillance features in it (which is what Firefox is).
I am happy this project exists, and I will support them. This is how free software is supposed to work.
