Just to put into perspective, maintaining a full browser (with its own engine etc) costs at minimum $300M/year (judging by the size of Chrome/Firefox/Safari's teams). That means that 300k users would need to pay more than $80 a MONTH to make that sustainable. That's insane.
Two things:
- that would go from my tool budget paid by work as soon as it is better since my browser is my second most important tool.
- as mentioned above I propose starting with a soft fork, as set of patches to be applied to the latest Firefox

You may find LibreWolf interesting:
I did not intend that. My intention is this: "the cost of maintaining a browser with up-to-date standards and security is enormous". A few hundred thousand users who are unlikely to pay anything for such a browser is just financially not viable.
