> Remember when we all switched from Firefox to Chrome?
I remember the hype, but I never switched. Firefox was always good enough for me. And really, Firefox overtook Chrome in performance a while ago already. And naturally Mozilla's manifesto is way better to support than Eric Schmidt's "you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide" idea.
Firefox gets nearly $1mn/day from Google...they're using your browsing history to target new tab page ads to you...they're not a good choice if you care about privacy. They have, though, pressured Yahoo to do some good stuff -- they have zero leverage over google, in fact google has tons of leverage over them. Try the Epic Privacy Browser if you care about privacy!
As others said, their contract with Google is over - now they use Yahoo (and some others) which you can easily switch to DuckDuckGo if you want. And also you can switch off new tab ads trivially.
