Yeah, a good browser should probably take an approach similar to Linux Mint.

It has to be easy to install and it has to work great for like 99.9% of normal uses without changing a single setting.

But, being free and open, if you are tech savvy then you can change and customize whatever you want. Sometimes it means I can lock down the privacy and data storage in my browser, and sometimes it means I can change the icon on my work computer's "start" button to be a check engine light. It's all just part of being able to use your computer the way you want to.
