I get the sentiment,
however when the user base of a FOSS alternative grows beyond the closed source alternative, a switch can happen.

So it would be a good thing to have a FOSS alternative out there, which can accumulate a user base over time.

Without any alternatives being developed,
a switch can never happen.

After a brief scroll through their source repo, I think it's a set of patches which gets applied by a script while compiling the browser from source.

So it's unlikely that it will be susceptible,
unless they forget to patch some telemetry out during a release, which is unlikely, since the projects goal is data privacy + security.

Fork of FireFox,
with a focus on data privacy + security:

I'd also like to add IronFox,
similar to LibreWolf, but for mobile:

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:

  • Proprietary pieces in their code
  • Telemetry (spyware)
  • Snap packages by default
