I needed some Chromium devs for a project so I contacted a few of the active maintainers on different platforms.

Eventually had to give up: "sorry no I'm living in China, too complicated", which is sad because some of the people seemed really nice and smart.

From the public information, you can only guess based on the names:

One example: https://web.archive.org/web/20200920040602/https://mentors.d...

or https://space.bilibili.com/439205819 (seems also smart and nice).

I'm sure there are many counter-examples as well.

It's not good or bad, just very logical that people who don't want Google are the ones who get a HTTP timeout or a lockup every time they try to send a request to Google.
