Firefox (and the Gecko rendering engine) is actually the only real alternative to Chrome these days. Because while you do have a few alternatives in Edge, Brave, Opera and Safari they are all using the same rendering engine (Blink) as Chrome under the hood. For that reason Firefox is more important than ever. (Technically Safari is using a different rendering engine, WebKit, but that essentially an old version of Blink.)

You will be surprised at the amount of big companies with open sourced projects (like Facebook and ReactJS).

I've used Firefox off and on throughout the years and I do still very much enjoy it but I'm concerned about their recent lack of impartiality in regards to politics.

Firefox is a privacy nightmare. The settings you check in the menu to ensure said privacy don't actually do what they're supposed to. Take fingerprinting for example even if you check strict tracking protection on the desktop version go to about:config and look for privacy.resistfingerprint it will be set to false...soooooo......... As of 8/27/20 they have eliminated the about:config for the mobile version which basically eliminates privacy and being non monetized. Other privacy issues such as indicating in the settings you don't want autocomplete/search suggestions as you type is ignored (turn it off and try typing amaz it will auto complete to amazon.com), the push for you to add everything to top sites or home page and to sync your tabs all while burying addons under several layers of menus. And it's ugly. They've turned private browsing to the same purple as TOR to try to mislead users into associating it with TOR, among a whole host of other d!@k moves. Make no mistake they are out to monetize you, your privacy is the last thing on their list.
