Over 96% of contributions are Google, terrible take.
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/AUTHORS
The vast majority of names on that list are not google employees. And that's nowhere near a complete list. Chromium dates back to kthmlw almost three deacdes ago. The vast majority of the code in Chromium was not written by Google.
The authors file is not the source of who writes it today.
Look at actual commit data, like here https://bkardell.com/blog/2023-Mid-Season-Power-Rankings.html
History is history. Those people won’t magically come back.
