I recommend ... switching to a more privacy conscious browser such as Google Chrome.
Chrome: mines literally everything about you without telling you, ties your entire browser history to your Google account, and makes predictions based on it, but asks you just this once for permission
Firefox: fights for user privacy for decades, opposes FLoC, and then enables one privacy-friendly reporting technology without warning users
This absolute galaxy brain over here: "Firefox is clearly worse"
Lots of non-Mozilla browsers based on the same browser engine for people tired of Mozilla doing stuff like this on Firefox, but who want to keep far away from browsers based on Google developed projects.
Realistically any functional and stable browser is going to have to be based on one of the big browser engines, if only because plenty of major websites just won’t work with anything but a big name browser engine. I’d rather be on something based on Gecko (Mozilla) than Blink( Google) or WebKit (Apple)
