I'm not convinced it requires 1/2 a billion dollars to keep Mozilla running. I think Mozilla is mismanaged, wasteful, easily distracted by unrelated projects, & bogged down with 'bullshit jobs.'
I've yet to see convincing evidence to the contrary short of folks simply telling me 'developing browsers is insanely expensive!'
I always see the same developing browsers is hard sentiment. But if it’s not true, why hasn’t a completely free open source volunteer team created a popular usable browser yet?
I mean, all those WebKit browsers are descended from Konqueror, which was free and open source. But those were different times.
