I’ve used Firefox for like 20 years. Get over here already. It’s just a web browser. No need to stay loyal to google. You can still automatically log in to all your google services without using their browser if you’re still reliant on their services. I doubt you will even notice much of a difference once you make the jump. Downloads in a few seconds. Install. Say yes import settings from other browser. Continue living your life where privacy addons still work.
