We publish something about all the work Igalia has contributed with each release. Fwiw, we didn't submit this ourselves, but it's cool someone thought it was interesting enough to share. In context, the title is fine, but as shared I can definitely understand the confusion.

Odd, works for me in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. They aren more shapes of text that match the video than images.

Last autumn we finally fell to third behind Microsoft, in fairness.. But we're also the second biggest contributors to WebKit (really significant there) and Gecko too, as well as the #1 contributors to Servo, and more - if you're interested: https://bkardell.com/blog/2024-Midseason.html

It's great to see the attention to servo growing - the number of people starring servo on gh just keeps going up! There's a chart on https://toot.cafe/@bkardell/112931971129556513
One big reason to want change is to change the funding model that currently supports the existing browser projects, which isn't great and is threatened too...

Bits of the servo project were integrated into FF/Gecko in Quantum (https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/introducing-firefox-quan...) - there's shared work where improvements in either end can help either.

Interesting - I had never never seen nyxt - but it doesn't seem to be a new renderer as far as I can tell? I could be wrong! I'm curious if it is though! It seems to say in the FAQ it is agnostic and currently supports a few engines as the renderer https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/faq

Hi, Igalian here. I can tell you that Wolvic does not use Servo nor are there any immediate (or even long term at this point) plans for it to. That's not to say it couldn't happen someday or that it wouldn't be interesting. We are major contributors to a lot of major projects and many of them have something to do with web engines (see https://bkardell.com/blog/2023-Mid-Season-Power-Rankings.htm...) so it's easy enough to see connections, but the connections are mainly often more generally just "we have a lot of interest in web stuff, and a great reputation for contributing".

Yes, that's right. Very far from all of it, but we're also very appreciative of those who did contribute funding. (I'm from Igalia/the host you're quoting)

Wolvic begins its evolutionary fork pretty close to where Firefox Reality left off, so yes, it is Gecko based.

We do right?! Thanks.
