Linux Foundation brings together top browser makers for more “open” approach

The Linux Foundation has launched a new initiative to support open-source Chromium-based browsers, aiming to provide a neutral space for developers to contribute without barriers. The ‘Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers’ program has already garnered support from tech giants like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Opera. The initiative focuses on enhancing open-source contributions and sustainability within the Chromium ecosystem to drive technological advancement. This collaborative effort is expected to foster innovation and resource-sharing across Chromium projects, all while prioritizing transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven development. The Linux Foundation, known for its backing of the Linux operating system, continues to expand its positive impact in the tech industry with initiatives like the Overture Maps Foundation and LF AI & Data Foundation. Chrome VP Parisa Tabriz expressed the importance of the Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative in creating a sustainable platform for industry leaders, developers, and the broader open-source community to drive further development and innovation in the Chromium ecosystem.
