What projects have Googlers contributed to?

Android, Chromium, Angular, Dart, Linux, Kubernetes, AV1 ... that's off the top of my head. Googles contributions to open source are up there. The other mob that don't get near enough credit for their open source contributions IMO is Facebook.

The only one I know of from Apple is CUPS. They left it as most open source after they bought it. There are undoubtedly others, but compared to Google who open sources the bulk of products they ship (such as Chromium and Android), there is no comparison.

It was a rhetorical question my friend.
