Open source aint going anywheres, no worries here
Browser codebase is really complex and requires dedicated dev effort.
The code is one thing. 300 skilled developers is another. Most of those could be full-time too.
Fire the highest paid exec first and I bet you there's at least 30 devs paid for right there
Open-source projects like this require dozents of full-time developers. It will be dead without a company like Mozilla running it. Imagine the Linux kernel with only hobbyist developers...
