Not only does WebKit exist, there are more WebKit users than Gecko users.
- hnlmorg 6y agoYou're right, it doesn't run in 2 out of the 3 browser-engines we currently have. Which actually makes the GPs point even more important. Or do you also want to include the fringe engines like kHTML, Trident, links, etc too...all of which also wouldn't run the APIs in question?

Don't try to get me to defend a point that I never made in an argument that I never weighed in on. The only point I was making was to correct the more-than-implied false claim that we have "2 browser engines". And I think I made it clear by pointing out that WebKit is bigger than Gecko that if Gecko is a valid consideration that WebKit cannot be considered "fringe".
