Maybe you would. The vast vast majority wouldn't.

Not many people care about privacy from big tech, and those that do probably know what FOSS is and would know that they can trivially get Firefox for free.

I also doubt that Mozilla could get the hundreds of millions per year that they need to maintain a modern web browser engine, keep up to date on security, etc.
