How much funding would a new nonprofit need to hard fork Firefox and try to actually get it right?
Unless FF becomes a compellingly better browser for the average user, it will keep on losing to the default Edge/Chrome/Safari.

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.
Do you mind elaborating? 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.
