For context, BTW, I think having a browser not funded by advertising would be wonderful, that was answerable to users, rather than being designed for advertising like Chrome, or tightly coupled to hardware sales and app stores strategies like Apple.
State funding might not be ideal especially if it came from just one country, but I think Mozilla’s annual budget would be the same as about 4 or 5 F35 fighters jets by comparison.
Signal app is ~0.5 jet fighters BTW
