Igalia are a fascinating organization—I hadn’t realized quite how influential they’ve been until I read their Wikipedia page just now
They’ve been around since 2001, and “in 2019 they were the #2 committers to both the WebKit and Chromium codebases and in the top 10 contributors to Gecko/Servo”—including implementing and maintaining CSS Grid Layout!
