I think cobalt has about as much in common with chromium as chromium does with khtml these days. There's some vague shared lineage but it's entirely its own project now with different algorithms and approaches to implementing web standards. It's a pretty cool project, and the source is a fun way to learn about web standards (same with reading Ladybird browser code). The major browsers are so complex they're not as approachable.
