It’s a fork of Chromium, so Google will add it. They’ll have to specifically remove it.
Also, if companies are considering implementing WEI, they will look at most of their users on chromium users and say, we most of our users are on Chromium, so the risk is low.
The CEO can say what he wants, but it doesn’t affect whether companies will roll this out. Google can not be trusted to drive web standards, and chromium needs to stop being used if we are to make it clear to website owners that they cannot simply support Chrome/Chromium only.

Except people don’t use what’s better. That this belief persists is proof enough. You’re applying economists’ spherical cow, but as the complexity of a system rises, everyone’s ability to act rationally decreases. In my experience, most people gave up trying to understand tech years ago and just follow trends.

I have used Firefox for years, and for no problem. This isn’t a general tech advice community. It’s a degoogling community.
If you’re uncomfortable with us recommending other projects not led by or influence by google, is it really the right place for you?

I don’t know the reason why they use Google analytics, but I think I read there was certain mitigations in place. I personally wouldn’t go there.
Google pay the most money for default search. Firefox used to have yahoo as the default search engine and could easily switch to Bing if they pay the most. Going with the most money you can get for funding the development of your browser is just sensible strategy. Firefox aren’t in the search market. Who, who cares about privacy doesn’t change their default search engine? You have yet to back up your insinuation that the default search money influences anything. I very much doubt you’ll produce anything substantial.
Considering Brave is modified Chromium, I cannot take seriously the suggestion that Firefox has more google. If Google pull the updates to chromium, Brave is dead, as they sure ain’t investing much time into building a browser. They’re more focussed on ads, and from what I’ve read, affiliate links.
You can question my knowledge base all you want. I have concerns about your motives and conclusions. I am not going to change the decision on this.
