Igalia seems like a super cool organization. Don't they contribute a bunch to Chromium too?

      What's Igalia business model like? They're not an outsourcing company, are they?

        We're an open source consultancy. Generally customers hire us to work on some part of their stack that is open source software, where we fix bugs, add features, or help with maintenance.

        From what I understand it’s a consultancy style company that the big tech companies hire to work on open source projects generally.

          From what I see Igalia is like the closest you can get to pure good in the space. They work on open source software to make it better, they make money while doing it, and from what I can tell all their employees really seem to like what they're doing too.
