This is not true for the vast majority of people leaving. It might be true in the hyper focused tech bubbles that we frequent, though they certainly don't represent the vast majority of users.

First, all the normal people left. Those leaving now, like me, are former Mozilla fans, techies, die hard Firefox users. That hate the Mozilla business model.

I like firefox too, as a browser. I dislike it as a means to track me and serve me ads that Mozilla Corporate deems 'acceptable'.

Ads make me the product. I do not want to be the product.

Have you forgotten that Firefox gives you a banner, a new tab, and a link to settings to simply turn off these features that upset you?
