    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?

      There are other open source browsers/engines.

      Aside from that, Imo, it’s not cheap to do what Mozilla is doing, but 1/2 billion annually is probably more than enough.

      I believe thar be grifting in them waters.

      I mean, all those WebKit browsers are descended from Konqueror, which was free and open source. But those were different times.
