Mozilla’s choices recently, including this defense of Google, have made me begin considering alternative browsers, even though there are so few user-respecting ones.

That shows well what I said in my own comment, that Mozilla doesn't know for whom it wants to be. It doesn't know if it wants to be for long-date users, like you and me; or for a new target audience; or for its own shareholders; or for advertisers; or for Google. So it sends mixed signals in all directions, and pisses off all of them.

I'm also considering to drop Firefox. Similar reasons.
