Why does acquisition of chrome demand $1b in revenue as an outcome? Why does chrome demand $400m in input spend ongoing, if it no longer has to deliver Google specific changes?
What's braves spend?

People underestimate how expensive it is to build a browser. There's a reason why we have only 3 major engines. Firefox (struggling), Chromium (Google backed) and Safari (Apple backed)
I don't know if it needs $400m but I wouldn't be surprised if it's $20m+ just to keep the browser secure.
Google paid out $12m last year in bug bounties and I assume they spend that much or more for in-house security researchers/developers (headcount is expensive) and periodic independent audits of the codebase.
