I wonder why they went with WebKit? It is nice to see another WebKit browser and not just a Blink/Chromium spinoff. Still it is a surprising choice, even if there's really only WebKit and Blink available for wannabe browser makers.
- pasc1878 4y agoBecause it is a standard Apple API so less work to do.
- mrweasel 4y agoTrue, but I as expecting them to want to port the browser to other platforms. Well, you can use webkit on those as well, so maybe it's less work, I don't know.
- thebitstick 4y agoWebKit is technically cross-platform, but browsers that use it only exist in Linux and Mac world. If DDG ports their browser to Windows and doesn't switch to Blink, then it will be the only well-maintained WebKit browser for Windows.
- rayiner 4y agoWebKit is vastly superior to Blink on Mac.
