It’s hard for them to find a stable source of funding for the massive size of their org, correct.

But how many developers do you need to create a great browser? They don’t need 1100 people, that’s for sure.

1100 people does sound like a lot, but some of those employees are probably working on things other than the browser. I wonder how many people work on Google Chrome in comparison.

I’d assume <100 devs.
