The Linux Foundation has unveiled a new collaborative organization called Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers designed to ensure that open-source projects with connections to Chromium get the necessary resources to be successful.

Members of the group include Google, Microsoft, and Opera, the companies behind Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge and Opera. Facebook’s parent company Meta has also joined the collaboration, according to Ars Technica.

Currently, there are nearly 30 different browsers based on Chromium, of which the most well-known are Brave, Duckduckgo, and Vivaldi.
