There are plenty of plans B. They simply want to both have Google-like politics and money literally from Google, while calling themselves independent. In Russia that's called "to both eat a fish and sit on a d*ck", same as "eat your cake and have it too".
They can break with mainstream standards represented basically by Chromium only, simplify and improve and don't track Chromium bug-to-bug anymore. That'll both reduce pressure and attract people.
They can rely on donations more, which will also have the clearly positive effect of users' opinions mattering on their further development.
They can have useful paid services, working best with their browser. Say, those "free speech" extensions adding comments to every webpage didn't fly well, because there were many of those extensions, and those comments were nuts. If you pay with some Foxcoin for every comment, then this won't have the spam problem.
So many ideas.
