I would rather give my data to Firefox than a company who's entire business model is selling user data. That being said, you could use librewolf which removes telemetry. I use both Firefox and librewolf
I'm using Fennec which also removes telemetry, but many standard users are not comfortable installing apps that aren't on Google play.
The amount of people who only feel comfortable downloading on Google Play and also care about privacy I feel like is very small but I don't know.
Some people would rather give their data to opera then firefox 🤦♂️
Mozilla seems to be transitioning to becoming an advertising company so I wouldn't want them to have my data either.
