With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

If only Firefox's management had its head screwed on better. I really don't care about Turning Red themes, I have a KDE theme just to keep it matching my desktop. Just make the core browsing experience better. Hell, take some features from Vivaldi. I've noticed a good portion of Vivaldi users back when I used Reddit were former Firefox users, and I can understand why.

I'd love them to make the UI similar to what it was in 3.* times. Just something intended for humans who use the browser and not managers who do presentations.

Part of why I've moved to Vivaldi tbh. It feels like Vivaldi is where Firefox should be at right now (besides the Chromium core).

It's unfortunate, but not much they can do. They have talked about a possible move to Gecko if retaining MV2 should be a priority, but it's not like they can do it in one day and all.

Vivaldi sucks for development imo, I would love to have tiled tabs and tab groups in Firefox though, there are some addons, but they are not that good.
