Google & Linux Foundation Launch "Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers" Fund


Google and the Linux Foundation today announced the creation of the 'Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers' fund to help provide funding to open-source developers working on Chromium-based open-source projects.

The Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative is to help foster sustainable open-source contributions to the Chromium ecosystem. Google is responsible for around 94% of the contributions to the open-source Chromium project itself and to a much smaller extent Microsoft, Samsung, Opera, Igalia, and others.With Chromium being used from the Electron app framework to countless custom applications, the hope is that Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers will lead to more sustainable development around it. More details on Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers via the Chromium blog as well as the Linux Foundation press release.
