Are there other browsers that have successfully built a niche? And how does one use that to bring in enough money to sustain a reasonable sized organization?
To me it neither seems easy, nor any guarantee of success.

Well Mozilla got >$6.000.000.000 - so I do thing this is enough money. Do you think they would have needed more money?
Brave currently tries to grow from the secure niche. I think Chrome started from the developer niche, with developer tools, being embeddable, open sourcing a rendering engine etc.

I am not sure clawing back a significant amount of marketshare can be done with any amount of money. As long as there is no access to a distribution channel that is similar in size and low friction to what the other browsers have, it will at least be extremely tough. Far from "easy".
