This attitude has always confused me. “Firefox did something I didn’t like so I switched to a browser which does hundreds of things to undermine the free and open internet”.

Plenty of Firefox users do not actually care about free & open and they're the ones who we lost in the greatest numbers. Recognizing and addressing their needs is important.

like 1. forcing DNS over HTTPS 2. Copying Chrome UI and destroying usability (why do i have to edit a file to get back scrollbar) 3. Droping support for FTP (because everybody i.e Chrome is doing it) 4. Droping suport for localhost (because everybody i.e Chrome is doing it) and so on.
