https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Re... is pretty good data for 2018.

You can see that non-consultancy firms like Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook all have approval rates close to 99%.

> UI is a completely separate implementation and shares nothing

Not completely true, many "model" part is shared with Chromium code (given the liberal license) while "view" part can be different.

In the past, some Opera employees do have commit access to Blink. When I was working on the content layer of Chromium (and some other parts) as an Opera employee I never had commit access, though I do get bug editing access (which is for triaging bugs).

Overall, it doesn't feel like there is a community at all, it's more like Google deciding everything then tell external contributors as a courtesy. I believe there can be technical influences driven by non-Google contributors but that's pretty rare.

That said, perhaps Microsoft can be an exception if their participation is big enough.

Jeff Atwood/DHH’s conclusion regarding Speedometer 2 is not completely true according to Filip Pizło (https://webkit.org/blog/author/fpizlo/): https://twitter.com/filpizlo/status/1049132270773198848

In this case I’d trust Filip more :)

> This project began by pulling the original “Helvetica” font from my system files, and making a copy of it. From there I opened it in FontForge, which is a brilliant open source font editor.

Pretty sure the license won’t allow you to do any modification to the font installed on your system.

Technically Spotify doesn't use Electron, they use a customized version of CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework):

This feels exactly like China in 1990s.
