About Brave Browser Development (and Chromium)
About Chromium - somewhere online, a few years ago, I found:
“Intrinsically, Chromium is a Google project maintained by many authors (developers, engineers, graphic designers, security researchers … ) from Google, Adobe, Amazon, ARM, Brave, Cloudflare, Facebook, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Igalia, Intel, Logitech, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nvidia, Opera, Samsung, Vivaldi, Xiaomi, Yandex … and external contributors.”
Chromium is not only a web browser. It is a blend of different important open-source projects:
- ANGLE (Graphics engine abstraction layer)
- Blink (Rendering/layout engine)
- Native Client (Sandbox for running native code)
- PDFium (PDF generation and rendering library)
- Sandbox (Security mechanism for separating running programs)
- Skia (Graphics library)
- V8 (JavaScript engine)
- and others.
