Most people here probably know it, but for those who don't:
The key point 'Chromium fork vs. OS provided Webview' is somewhat non-relevant, because they aren't very different. Chromiums rendering engine 'Blink' is a fork of WebKit and most OS provided Webviews are either Blink or WebKit based.
The last major rendering engine that is different is Gecko/Quantum which is being developed by Mozilla for Firefox. Everything else is based on WebKit nowadays.
The only fun thing about the situation is that WebKit is a fork of KHTML which was developed by the KDE developers for their browser Konqueror for Linux.
- TingPing 5y agoThe WebKit fork was a while ago and the two behave quite different.
