I care about my privacy, though I like it's UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

Unfortunately there's ads in Firefox too, and they're opt out instead of opt in. I'm certainly not a fan of it, but outside of LibreWolf until servo becomes a thing I think should be right but we're stuck choosing lesser of multiple evils.

there's a huge difference: Firefox does not inject ads on the pages you visit.

Anyway, I recommend to use Librewolf or Mullvad Browser instead of Firefox.
