Firefox has been going downhill for a while now, so it's not surprising.

That said, if you don't want to use Chrome, a fairly good alternative would be Vivaldi [0] - a surprisingly neat browser created by the ex-founder of Opera. It's based on the Chromium engine, so no weird rendering shenanigans, but at the same time is quite technically capable, with ad blocking, mouse gestures, email client, etc.

Last time I checked, they basically resold aggregated behaviour data.

One day, maybe, someone might finally understand that web browsers have become utilities, and regulate them.
