Chrome is mostly open-source software, Chromium builds are just missing Google data sync, some video DRM, and other proprietary components. I believe Firefox is completely FOSS.
A lot of internet denizens go out of their way to highlight every misstep firefox has like it is fatal and downplay all of it’s positives, even to the point of suggesting the usage of chromium derivitives.
I hate to admit sometimes that the Chrome experience (especially on mobile) can be a lot smoother and quicker to load, but Firefox wins every time on extensibility. But to your point yes the hate directed Firefox’s way can be well, a bit much.
Even if I ignored everything about the entire ecosystem, just the fact I can use ublock origin in firefox mobile is reason enough to choose it over chrome

Looks like it is! I was under the apparently false impression that it was only partly.
