Brave, Brendan Eich's (previous Mozilla CEO) new company and browser, has raised $42m and has probably ~220 employees. He said even then, they had to fork Chromium because they didn't have the resources to actually do all the work involved in a feature complete browser engine. So I'm guessing $500m funding, because even Microsoft didn't invest in an outside-Chromium engine for Edge.
- fabrice_d 4y agoBrave forked Chromium to not face an uphill battle on web compatibility - they never had plans to write their own engine (they actually started with a Gecko based product in the very early days).
