I would rather give my data to Firefox than a company who's entire business model is selling user data. That being said, you could use librewolf which removes telemetry. I use both Firefox and librewolf

Mozilla seems to be transitioning to becoming an advertising company so I wouldn't want them to have my data either.

I'm using Fennec which also removes telemetry, but many standard users are not comfortable installing apps that aren't on Google play.

The amount of people who only feel comfortable downloading on Google Play and also care about privacy I feel like is very small but I don't know.
