It’s their browser not yours if you don’t trust them use something else. I keep away from defaults especially search because they are usually paid for and not in good faith. They also dropped yandex two times already and you guessed it right… because of monetary reasons. This is not the smoking gun you want it to be.

That's... not how things work. If you're not happy about something, you should complain about it. That's the only way that people's preferences become known, and changes can be made. If we all constantly hopped from product to product when the product we're currently using does something we didn't like, we'd very quickly run out of options.
I vaguely recall that Yandex is based in the Netherlands for tax reasons (like many Russian companies and oligarchs) but Russian money is no longer good.
All contracts signed with Russians are up for review and likely annulment.
“Their” browser is useless pile of code when it's not being run on someone's computer. My own computer, for example. Which is not their computer at all.
You people seem to be totally brainwashed by corporate bullshit.
That statement was not Firefox-specific. Marketing bullshit about saints above blessing lowly ignorant masses incapable of independent action with fad-of-the-year software (with a not so nice user agreement) should not be tolerated.
We can all laugh at people who can't change a search engine, and call them dumb, but when something like Mozilla decides “these users are dumb, they get used to it”, it's a tad different story.
