Might want to read the company's profile for more info: https://www.igalia.com/about/history https://www.igalia.com/about/history
They are an open source software consultancy.
"Since 2010, Igalia has become the world’s leading web engines consultancy, and has been a top contributor to the WebKit and Chromium projects. Thanks to our excellent work, Igalia has since been accepted as a member of associations including the W3C, GENIVI, Automotive Grade Linux, the Khronos Group, and ECMA International."
But off the top of my head with their focus on embeddable IOT devices, that alone is a good business case. Having CSS/HTML available to render to OLEDs, eink displays, smart watches, etc, would be super nice.
- TylerE 4y agoWhat does this buy for your IoT use case that Chromium doesn’t?
- chrisco255 4y agoChromium doesn't run on most embeddables and is very memory and power hungry.
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoHow big is the market for people running watered down web browsers on embeddables? Do you have any example usecases off the top of your head?
- chrisco255 4y agoSorry, I'm not going to write a whitepaper for you, you'll have to do that research yourself if that's a field you're interested in getting into. I already mentioned smart watches, but could be e-readers, e-ink tablets like Remarkable, diagnostic screens, etc.
- flohofwoe 4y agoLess bloat? How easy is it to strip Chromium down if you only want HTML+CSS for instance? (I would guess: not trivial)
