Working with my finance team, we guessed, minimum, three persons per component team, for very narrow definition of components. There were roughly 50 components we identified (poorly) and some overlap but...we were looking at (again min) 150 good (expensive) devs and like 30 to 50 eng-managers. And still need to fill roles for vision, finance, architecture, etc.
So, at this point...millions per year.
However, I've been maintaining a small fork, with just small tweaks by my self, and LibreWolf has some patches too - for very little money.

I'd really just like some "Unmozillaed Firefox" or "Firefoxium" that removes some of the crap Mozilla tries to impose ("no, you can't install extensions from outside of the store", "using a userChrome.css? haha, no"). But all prominent FF forks are full of crazy "privacy enhancements" that mean virtually no web app will work.
- djbusby 4y agoSure. Building Firefox is pretty easy. And then you can pick/choose the patches from LibreWolf maybe. And also for example strip out the Pocket shit, or frob all the defaults to what you like (no DNS over HTTP) and tweak the style too, and even "fix" the default HTML styles.
