This is awesome to hear, thanks Igalia

Who are the new funders for Igalia's work?

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. In Spanish: https://www.igalia.com/public-funding-projects/public-fundin...

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.
