If one man software products can't be sold for money in such a fashion as to reasonably support the dev then it is inevitable that most of them will either be sold or become abandonware. That too, a browser being such a critically important piece of modern software and such a complex undertaking for a single (or few) devs, it is imperative that the user community undertakes to return the favour in terms of money so that such 'deals' are not necessitated. Now while today it is Waterfox we can expect most of the other smaller players to eventually fold too... even folks like Vivaldi/Brave may not be sustainable in the long term. For that matter even Mozilla has a revenue problem that has long been bandaged over by deals with ad companies. It's just that the sharp end of economic reality hits the lone dev much sooner. Microsoft and Google giving away their browsers for free will essentially undercut every other player out there including Mozilla. And only the users will emerge the poorer for such unhealthy consolidation.
