It should be noted that development has been getting up in gear again mostly by Igalia after some external funding.

  Who are the new funders for Igalia's work?

    > Igalia is a private, worker-owned, employee-run cooperative model consultancy focused on open source software. Based in A Coruña, Galicia (Spain), Igalia is known for its contributions and commitments to both open-source and open standards. Igalia's primary focus is on open source solutions for a large set of hardware and software platforms centering on browsers, graphics, multimedia, compilers, device drivers, virtualization, embedded Linux, and device drivers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igalia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igalia https://people.igalia.com/mrego/servo/igalia-servo-tsc-2022/ https://people.igalia.com/mrego/servo/igalia-servo-tsc-2022/ Seemingly, they are funding this work themselves, probably from income from the consultancy. Edit: Also, seems Igalia received public funding, the latest one in 2022.

      From what I gathered from a few podcasts it is mostly employee driven championing of priorities and croudfunding

        Maybe "this is the way" to fund an alternative browser!

          One wonders if there would be more user donations to Firefox if those were directly going to browser development and not to mozilla...

            I don't see how this Mozilla hate is relevant. Igalia aren't ordinary users: they're developers.

        I wish most companies were run this way.
