That doesn’t detract from OP’s point. I want Mozilla to be a good, privacy respecting organization, but they aren’t anymore, and chromium has nothing to do with that.

Have they considered just asking for money? Also getting rid of the giant holes that they keep pouring their money into?

A lot of people love Firefox, and would happily donate. They could also trim a lot of fat at Mozilla quite easily.
