Here is /r/firefox sneeding about it https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1czpzs3/a_bad_infographic_comparing_various_browsers_from/
Edit: forgot to add the source:
There are many things one could note, but just for starters:
- Firefox does include anti-fingerprinting. We could say much about this, but at the very least it's there.
- Telemetry is not inherently bad, especially when you can turn it off(as is the case with Firefox). Moreover, Firefox is open source, so you can verify that what telemetry gets collected. "Type + num. of connections" is just a ridiculous metric.
- Firefox is certainly the most tweakable with perhaps Vivaldi having an edge if we exclude userCSS, but that's debatable.
- Ease of use is another ridiculous metric, that you'd expect Firefox to win. People of all ages use it.
People seem to just read the marketing on each browser's website and take them at face value.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
