Chrome wouldn’t even exist without WebKit/ apples push and contributions.
- feross 5y agoThat’s true. But at this point, I think Chrome might have more dev-rel people than Apple has full-time Safari engineers (!!) Before Chrome forked WebKit, they were doing the lion’s share of the work in WebKit. And even now a huge percentage of the security fixes in WebKit are credited to Google (according to macOS and iOS release notes). You have to give the devil his due: Google has invested in the web platform in a way that Apple never did.
