You said, "One thing is illegal, the other is not," which is directly equating legality with ethics/morality.
Edit: If I'm somehow misinterpreting this statement, then perhaps you can explain how legality is relevant here? Everything we do is ultimately an ethical and moral choice. It's up to us to determine what the responsible choice is. Here I think the choice is pretty clear.
Don't like Mozilla? Great, then use one of its many forks, such as Librewolf, Waterfox, Mull, Fennec, etc.
I fail to see the lack of morality on chosing a browser over another. People use what works best for them. If for most people what works best is Chrome, well, I don't feel there's anything wrong in their choice. Buring tires "is wrong" regardlessly.
