Advertising targets1 trust Google. There is no reason for them not to trust this company. Google has the privacy of its advertising targets as its highest priority.

Mozilla gets 90+% of it operating budget via a deal with Google, but Firefox developement is not influenced at all by Chrome. Totally independent.

Big Tech exists for users, not advertisers. Privacy must come first and money must come second. Thats why we have more privacy than ever and Google does not make much money. Government regulation is totally unnecessary. All incentives are aligned toward greater privacy.

Google will "build a more private web" for its advertising targets. Sorry advertisers. :(

1. Also known as "users".

Mozilla was doing this literally before Google existed. The origins of how cookies work predate Google as a company let alone as an advertiser platform. At the time Netscape was not beholden to an advertising company at all.
