All good modern browsers are based either on firefox or chromium if I'm not terribly misinformed

I think Safari is WebKit.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Webkit is Chromium (or at least, Chromium is Webkit, since the inheritance goes in the other direction).

The only ^1^ browser engine that is a completely separate and independent codebase from Chrome is Firefox's.

(^1^ aside from extremely niche/unusable stuff like Lynx)

Close. Chromium uses Blink which was originally a fork of WebKit. I have no idea how much they've diverged since then.

[–] ivn@jlai.lu 2 points 4 months ago

The fork was 11 years ago, so a lot. So much that they are considered different engines now.

fair enough, although I'm not sure that falls in the "good" category :P
