This is splitting hairs. You can easily use (or make) a downstream distribution of Firefox where that is the case. No forking required, just ship a default config. This still would be a reasonable course of action even if your real concern is what is adequate for the wider community, not just for yourself. Threatening to switch to another browser isn't going to help because anything you switch to at this point is going to be a fork of Chrome or Firefox, probably with additional ads and tracking added from the other downstream vendor. Like it or not this is the funding model of the web. Edit: I haven't checked in a while but I believe there are actually already several privacy-focused forks of these browsers that ship with the default configs changed to remove ads and tracking, among other things.
