Open source aint going anywheres, no worries here
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...
Browser codebase is really complex and requires dedicated dev effort.
