Technology and ethics and politics are not airgapped magically distinct things. Pretending that they are is a strategic political choice you are actively making.
Ok. I'm a bad person because I enjoy using a given browser. I get that.
Another one that goes on my ignore list. Bye.
If that's what you feel is the case if you don't separate politics from technology then that sounds like a personal problem to address.
This is a straw man argument; no one said you're a bad person for using a certain browser.
This is what they are criticising you about. You could be using Edge or Chrome, it wouldn't matter here, that wouldn't make you a bad person. The point is that pretending there is no connection when there is clearly a huge relevance here is massive.
In the imagination of upvotes-hungry virtue-signaling people, of course.
