Maintaining an Independent Browser Is Expensive

I left Mozilla nearly two years ago so you can lay off the baseless speculations about my salary, thanks.

Incidentally I explicitly defined "independent" in my blog post: "I mean a browser with its own implementation of HTML, CSS, JS, etc". Choosing an alternative definition and then ranting about it is irrelevant to what I wrote.

I'm sorry. That's not how this works.

    dependent *adj*
    1. free from outside control; not depending on another's authority.
    2. not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.

It is not disputed that they have made their contribution to the implementation babel of web "standards". It is disputed, right here, that they are more of a spoke in the wheels of online advertising than a heroic champion of the open web.
