It doesn't matter if WebKit is open source or not (in the context of the topic) because only Apple can make modifications to the WebView on iOS. Adding or removing functionality, fixing bugs is entirely under Apple's control. On iOS third party browsers: ● Can't pick their own browser engine ● Can't pick which version of Webkit they wish to us ● Can't turn browser engine features on or off using flags ● Can't add entirely new browser engine features ● Can't edit browser engine features ● Can't entirely remove browser engine features ● Don't even get all the features of Webkit that iOS provides Safari ● Get a more restricted version of Webkit than the one iOS provides Safari Safari and the WebView that browsers use do not get the same level of access) ● Use a version of Webkit provided that is tied to iOS system updates as opposed to packaged with the third party browser On Android third party browsers: ● Can use their own browser engine ● Can pick which version of Blink they wish to use (if they are using Blink at all) ● Can turn browser engine features on/off using flags ● Can add entirely new features to Blink ● Can edit existing features in Blink ● Can completely remove features from Blink ● Don’t have to use Blink at all
