Interesting to see a lot of Google contributors to the WebKit memory corruption issue. Does Google or Apple push more commits to WebKit these days, or is it abo

  Well seeing as Chrome is also webkit based (and is used for the spider), you'd imagine google would make a lot of contributions it :p

  Here's a clue from back in 2010 http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2010/02/webkit-commits.html http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2010/02/webkit-... Which shows that Google overtook Apple in late 2009. I don't know if that's still current, but the blog author did post the python source code he wrote to make that graph. Perhaps some enterprising HN reader can update us for 2013? https://github.com/martine/webkit-who https://github.com/martine/webkit-who

    I was at a party with a Chrome security guy (and a Mozilla security guy) a couple days ago and it certainly sounded like 80+% were Google instead of Apple, at least in security. Also apparently there's a guy at Google who fuzzes Mozilla code using Google servers and collects a lot of Mozilla bounties (like $100k/yr) personally, which is kind of an interesting ethical thing :)

      Even more interesting ethically considering a large portion of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google.

    Not sure if I would read too much into it, though. One of my friends is a WebKit contributor, and apparently people at Apple regularly get their code reviewed and approved by Google employees and vice versa (as well as people outside both companies, since they're all just contributors to the WebKit project).
