>Blink-compatible API in Firefox called WebExtensions
Does anyone know why they are calling this API Blink-compatible rather than Chromium-compatible? My understanding is that Blink is just the rendering engine and extension code can be found within the main Chromium project.
My best guess is that they are referring to it this way since I think that currently the list of browsers that use Blink is the same as the list of browsers that use Chromium code and people are more used to categorizing browsers based on their rendering engine rather than where the code originated.

That's a good question, since the two sources they link to (from Chrome and Opera) both refer, directly or indirectly, to Chromium extensions, and neither refers to "Blink" at all.
