you don’t need 750 employees to make a browser, and probably can’t effectively use even a hundred

Browser engines are incredibly complicated, yet at the same time are very performance and security sensitive while needing insane backwards compatibility and full multi-platform support. That unfortunately requires large teams, which is why there's only Gecko and WebKit/Blink left.

"Making a browser" you can do with a team of 1 person. Just search & replace the branding in the Chromium source.
