The JS engines are different though
- pkilgore 6y agoHTML engine was forked from Webkit. It's called blink now, and from what I've read the fork was long enough ago to consider them separate pieces of software.
- andrewflnr 6y agoNo, IIRC Firefox's render engine is called Gecko, and it's a completely separate (older I believe) lineage from Webkit. Ed: I may have misunderstood which "it's" you were referring to. Oh well.
- cordite 6y agoI meant between Safari and Chrome. Saying Apple maintains their own, yet they share tech.
- paavohtl 6y agoChrome's rendering engine (Blink [1]) was hard forked from WebKit in 2013. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine)
