hijacking affiliate codes is unethical and should be stopped but don't actually affect me in any way.

I mean, alright. But you could say "I don't care" about any infraction of freedom and/or trust. I trust software to not modify my intent, any software that does so without asking can not be trusted in any way.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. It's worth it for the comprehensive privacy features.

It's not actually that private, use librewolf if you want an actually private browser

I do. In fact I use 5 different browsers on a semi-regular basis. None of them are vanilla Firefox. Most of the "more private" browsers simply don't work on many pages.
