As a general stance “People want me to give them free shit. I say gtfo.”, I understand you.
That’s just not proportional to Mozilla and Firefox. In 2022 they had a total revenue of $595 million¹. That allows them to hire 3305 software developers at a salary of $180.000. Google was responsible for 81% of that revenue¹. If you remove Google and their influence from the equation you’re left with $113 millon and Mozilla can then hire 628 software developers. I think that would be more than adequate to maintain a browser.
