question about debian software development?



Hi All,
Perhaps my question speaks to Linux development generally, but it is aimed for developers here. Likely tied to Google recently losing an antitrust suit around its search tool, the company removed direct access to google search for many lower graphics and open source browsers. Tools like Links, and elinks, both of which employ some JavaScript. Along with lynx and w3m..I believe that is the name of the tool.
my question is this.
Links and e-links are fine tools, I even use a DOS port of links on my desktop. However the programs, as I understand it, both would benefit from additional coding work around JavaScript. Google currently rejects both..even though both worked previously.
How much would it cost to pay  a developer to upgrade these tools?
Generally speaking do developers work by the hour, or on a blanket basis per project?
serious answers only please.

Best,

Karen Lewellen
