There are plenty of alternative browsers based on Chromium that are way better than Firefox, and I don't see any good reason to switch on it.
I went away from Firefox a few years ago and am very happy about it.
I also think that the "free web" arguments are bullshit. Blink is open source, so any wrongdoing from Google can be undone.
An organization like Mozilla that is able to develop and maintain his own engine could achieve the same results by forking Blink. It would probably reduce the costs by more than 10, without any ethical compromise, resulting in a far better browser overall.
If they wanted it, they could lead the way to bridge projects like ungoogled-chromium or the various attempts at reviving android extensions in a consistent and ethical fork. Probably even convince others like Vivaldi, Edge, Opera or even Apple to join the initiative.
