      Sure, how much could a web browser cost anyways? Here’s $20.

        I would actually like to know how much it cost. And how much each user “should” pay so it becomes viable.

        Though I would really think that public institutions should use firefox as a base browser instead of edge/chrome as being open source is usually a big plus for public agencies that need to really control what’s going on in their computers. And thus being a big source of financial support for firefox.

          Someone above posted that they have a revenue of 593 million dollars per year. Presumably somewhat below that is going to be their yearly costs.

          And according to this, they have around 160 million desktop Firefoxes showing up, which is going to be roughly how many active users there are.

          593 / 160 would be $3.71 per user.

        Maybe ad-supported version?

        Like the Opera browser in 2000s.
