      history of people preferring 'free' products with ads/tracking over paid software. browsers, email clients, encyclopedias, you name it.

  no, use Firefox

  No, use Vivaldi.

  A browser needs to be trustworthy and transparent; anything that isn't fully Open Source is simply not fit for purpose. Just use Firefox.
