Completely agree. I understood WebKit to be a different browse engine than chromium or Firefox.

While chromium and Firefox have wider platform options, there’s “kind of” a 3rd runner even though locked to apple.

I agree Linux and open source is king.


I was thinking WebKit was closer to Netscape in origin.

You made me go look it up. 😉 and I think we’re both wrong…. (Here’s my edit…. Poster above is right. I read it wrong, so only I am wrong on the origin of WebKit)

Below from Wikipedia:

WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS software libraries from KDE.

On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome


I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

Chrome was great, till it wasn’t. IE always was bad. Edge is chromium.

Firefox has stayed closer to “don’t be evil” than many companies. Is say far more than the other options.
