Okay, look. Chromium’s monopoly is definitely a concern. But Firefox is also not the answer here.
In a way, you are giving Firefox leeway to do as they want since they are the only thing stopping Chromium’s monopoly. That’s equally wrong.
Use the better, more secure technology, until we have something better. Don’t use Firefox because it’s not Chromium - that’s definitely not healthy.

Ah, I assumed there were some areas where Firefox had been found lacking relative to Chromium browsers.
For me, the current version of any major browser or fork with consistently applied security updates and capability of running the full version of Ublock Origin is sufficiently secure for my threat model. Given that, and that they all offer the feature set I want, wouldn’t it be reasonable to avoid Chromium browsers because I don’t want to encourage the Chromium monopoly?
That’s only a small fraction of why I use Firefox, to be fair, but suppose for argument’s sake that I don’t care about MV3 extensions, Firefox Containers, etc… Would be it be so wrong for not wanting there to be a Chromium monopoly to be why I chose Firefox or one of its forks?
