It is controlled by Google and using a Chromium based browser feeds Chrome's and Google's monopoly. This is one of the reasons and I don't mind elaborating or mentioning others if you aren't convinced enough to use Firefox.
No no it's developed by Mozilla which is a non profit but they make deals with search engines to make them the default and Google makes the biggest deal with them. You can easily change the search engine to something like DuckDuckGo which I di.

It's the only way :) There is also Tor browser which is great for privacy but a bit slow (cuz it routes everything through 3 servers)
I thought Firefox was owned by Google though?
