I have to imagine competing with a de-Googled Chrome is also a concern. I wouldn't think this apples to the majority of users, but a lot of people currently using Firefox today are only doing so because of a dislike of Google (and Microsoft), who might be willing to go back to a responsibly-managed/truly FOSS Chrome.
Personally I have just always really liked the firefox icon
Yeah, I really don't know about responsibly managed. The new owner might be better than Google, but it's unlikely for Chrome to be bought by a charity. Ergo the new owner will want to make their money back and enshittify accordingly.
