How different are Blink and WebKit? They've been separate for almost a decade but I've never worried about the distinction.
Tmk, the death of Trident/EdgeHTML is a little overstated, since it is still used by the UWP embedded browser widgets. This is probably more of a concern for some subset of js/CSS library developers than for app developers.

- dmitriid 5y ago> How different are Blink and WebKit? Very different in some aspects. Not that different in others. Depending on where you look. They have different Javascript engines and security models. But HTML and CSS is mostly the same/similar. But then you have Chrome implementing over a 1000 more Web APIs [1] some/many of which will never see the light of day in other browsers [2] [1] https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence https://web-confluence.appspot.com/#!/confluence [2] https://webapicontroversy.com https://webapicontroversy.com
