There is an unintuitive takeaway from this.

The reason Firefox is allowing this is that browsers and operating systems produced by nonprofits acting in the public interest don't have enough market share to resist being dictated to by for-profit corporations. Imagine FirefoxOS had the market share of Android and Debian had the market share of Windows. Would we still be having this conversation?

The free software people have been preaching this for decades. It turns out they're right.

So don't install Chrome, use Firefox. Then next time it will be easier for Mozilla to do the right thing.
