The first part is forgiveable, accidentally including a standard phrasing.

Removing the pledge not to sell data is the canary in the coalmine dying. Time to get out.

Unfortunately there isn't a real alternative to Firefox, there are only hardened forks, but that's still not as bad as using a Chromium browser over official Chrome.
