The Linux Foundation announces the Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers
#1
Information 
Quote:The Linux Foundation has launched an initiative called the Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers. Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Opera are members of the group.

While the news comes as a surprise, the list of members who have joined the group is unsurprising to say the least. Brave and Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo are not members, and it is not clear why they are not part of the project, given that their browsers are based on the Chromium open source project.

It seems rather silly that Google, Opera, Vivaldi joined hands with other browser makers to fight against Microsoft Edge as part of the Browser Choice Alliance, and now they themselves are part of a group that includes Microsoft. I suppose it is for their perceived version of the greater good.

What is the purpose of Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers?

Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers is an initiative that has been created to aid innovation, improve the adoption, and enhance the open development of projects in Chromium's ecosystem, according to the official announcement. As you may be aware, Google Chrome, Opera Browser, Microsoft Edge use Chromium's Blink engine to power their respective browsers.

The browser makers have partnered with The Linux Foundation to foster an open source environment and support the developers financially and continue the technological progress of Chromium. Basically, this sounds like a second foundational pillar for Chromium, which Google maintained to a large degree on its own until now.

 You can find the press releases from Opera, Chromium, Microsoft, and The Linux Foundation on their websites.
