This Mozilla fiasco has convinced me that being a nonprofit isn't enough. We need a web browser that is actively hostile towards corporations and surveillance capitalism.

Why hasn't the anti-corporate fiasco (not a single successful example) convinced you that it's not enough?

I'm not sure to what extent Mozilla actually functions as a nonprofit. All the bits one cares about (i.e. FireFox) are developed by the for-profit subsidiary, which is at least somewhat beholden to Google/Microsoft for revenue...

Starting with a strong copyleft license helps a lot. See Blender being GPL.
