Not sure that is fair; Google push updates to Webkit all the time, but naturally they develop them on their fork.

- MatthewPhillips 15y agoThe other vendors choose when/if they merge Google's commits. The grandparent's comment made WebKit sound like a single entity when it's actually several competing companies with overlapping but also differing views on things. They just happen to be working from a common code base.
- alexchamberlain 15y agoSome of Google's engineers have Webkit priveleges. Webkit is a single rendering engine - this should not be confused. It is used by several browsers, who of course, use slightly different compilation configurations, but I doubt that the web designer ever needs to concern themselves with that!
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoNo Alex, not all WebKit browsers have feature parity with each other.
- alexchamberlain 15y agoExample please.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoTouch events - Android (any version) vs. iPhone (any version). IndexedDB - Chrome Mobile has it (outdated version), Android and iPhone do not. Chrome will have Dart support at a later date, no other WebKit vendor is going to implement it. There are literally dozens, just go to caniuse.com and play around for a bit.
- alexchamberlain 15y agoThe first 2 are simply version issues, whilst the 3rd is nothing to do with the rendering engine. Chrome uses V8, Safari does not.
