How do we get to more than just three web engines owned by three US companies?
It's a gargantuan question, with no easy or right answer.
I've put together a draft report, thinking about it through a very specific approach - please enjoy:

Igalia is a worker-owned cooperative based in A Coruña, Spain. All positions are 100% remote. Igalia can potentially sponsor visas to emigrate to Spain.
We cut @nodejs memory in half with a one-line Docker image swap.
No code changes. No new APIs. Just smaller heaps.
Here's what happened when we tested pointer compression on real workloads 🧵
We’re incredibly proud of our collaboration with @imaginationtech.com integrating a device farm into Mesa's upstream CI system to improve the testing and quality of their #OpenSource driver for PowerVR GPUs. Learn more at their blog: blog.imaginationtech.com/imagination-...

Interop 2026 has launched by announcing the focus areas for this year! The year-long cross-vendor coordination effort on improving web feature interoperability will include a bit of HTML, a dash of JS, a handful of CSS, and perhaps a surprise or two… www.igalia.com/news/interop...

How do you measure when a component is “ready”? ⏱️
LCP is too global; Element Timing is too specific.
🛠️ I’ve been working with Bloomberg on a new #webperf API: Container Timing. Think of it as “LCP for a web component”, providing aggregated paint timing for a subtree.
Congratulations to @bkardell.com on joining the W3C TAG!
