Do you? It sounds like you're implying that they can't do it, despite also pointing out that they easily could.
- my123 5y agoThey did the technical work to allow WebKit to build on Windows: https://webkit.org/webkit-on-windows/ https://webkit.org/webkit-on-windows/ That's the AppleWin port which relies on non-redistributable libraries, using the iTunes compatibility libraries. There's also upstream the WinCairo port, which is redistributable. (can be downloaded from Buildbot at https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows#DownloadbuildartifactsfromBuildbot https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows#Download...) It's just that Apple doesn't want to make Safari as a whole available on Windows, while making it easy for others to develop browsers using that same engine - even on Windows.
