Back of the envelope math says that's worth 50-70 million dollars a year, taking into account inflation. A cracked developer is worth 1/2 a million per year, both of Mozilla's core offerings are OSS so benefit from free code contributions. Is that not enough for a dozen highly paid software engineers, a well paid CEO and infra? This is ignoring future donations.
- bjord 9mo agowhat is the math you're doing, exactly? also, I don't think a dozen devs is enough to support a competitive browser anyway, companies are far(!) from just devs
