Understanding the Funding Challenges for Web Ecosystems

The fragility of web browsers and their reliance on open source funding is a key concern. Data reveals that while substantial revenue is generated from search engines and ads, a minimal portion is reinvested into supporting the web infrastructure. This imbalance poses sustainability issues, as much of the funding currently flows to a select few major players, primarily Google and Apple. Consequently, there's a growing call for a reevaluation of how funds are distributed to better support the web's various components.
