Comparing Chromium development at Google and Igalia

North America Business Sat, 17 Oct 2026 12:50:41 GMT Moderate confidence — 64/100

Sharon Yang is a Chromium developer who worked at Google on the browser and now works on it at Igalia.
On the final day of FOSSY 2026, she gave a presentation on her experiences with both of those companies, comparing and contrasting the ways each one operates and how that affects work on the code base.
She enjoyed working at Google and feels the same about Igalia, so the talk was not aimed at complaints—instead it was meant to give a feel for two companies that are rather different.
