Firefox is the only browser I trust.
And I don’t trust them, but from all other options they seem the ones that I will accept.
Honest question: what do you have against Mozilla/firefox?
They're a company, and a company is a collection of people driven by financial motives. You shouldn't trust any company implicitly.
Mozilla has made a lot of bad decisions recently(laying off 50% of staff a couple years ago), they gave up on their XR browser, and numerous performance issues on Mac. I love what Mozilla stands for, but the management has degraded quite a bit in the last 10 years. The only thing I use these days from Mozilla is Thunderbird but even that is showing its age.

Lesser of two evils
That approach gets you evil solutions.
I welcome any alternatives to the current situation, but unfortunately that's where we are right now.
The only solution would be a massive effort that requires decades of engineering hours and a few million dollars.
