I've never really liked Firefox and I've tried it multiple times. As for big companies tracking data, I think that's pretty much unavoidable at this stage and I don't really care.
My only criteria for browsers is just stuff loading when it should and fast. Corporations are welcome to my shit data, the only thing that annoys me about that is they profit from it and I don't.
I wasn't a fan of Firefox either and personally lived using edge. When the whole web integrity thing started happening, I felt like I should switch to Firefox and haven't looked back.
I still have some complaints, like you can't install sites native app which I used a lot. I don't think tab groups have been implemented yet, which isn't a huge deal but very useful. And there were a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. In the end I value my privacy a bit more so I've decided Firefox is worth it.
Plus mobile ad blocking is a god send.
There's an extension that lets you do this. I use it and it works great.
Funny thing is that forced group tabs on Chrome mobile is what made me ditch it.
The PWA app works decent, but, unless I did something wrong, it would open links in itself instead of my main Firefox window which wasn't what I'd want normally.
I still use it, but it's definitely not as nice as I'd want it to be.
Definitely one of those things that's minor and I can look past though.
