Firefox isn't an "alternative browser."

I didn't think Google would play the evil card, but don't trust the ad blocking abilities of software made by an advertising company, I guess.

What do you mean by not an alternative browser?
Are you trying to say something about the word choice or...?
Chrome is an alternative browser to Firefox too.

It's not an alternative, it's the browser you should use

Of course it's the alternative. Has always been, even before it was called Firefox: Netscape Navigator is the alternative to Mosaic. Fun fact: Internet Explorer was a fork of Mosaic. All of Chrome, Edge and Safari are descendants of KHTML.
