Probably more like $5000. Have you considered how insanely complicated browsers are? It’s a miracle they’re free.

Well the reality is that there are two browser engines that are free and open source. If they built their own that was better than the incumbents (eg. from performance/privacy point of view), then I might consider it. But I'm not paying $5000 for a chrome reskin, just like I won't pay $5000 for a debian reskin.
I’m saying it’s a miracle that Chrome/FF is free.
3 - Chromium/Blink, Webkit, and Firefox.
Not a miracle. Just Google.
