Chrome is not just a wrapper. WebKit requires you to implement networking, graphics rendering, font rendering etc.
There are huge differences between the different WebKit based browsers
- taligent 14y agoSure but you can just defer to the OS for the bulk of those services e.g. CoreGraphics, DirectWrite etc.
- jganetsk 14y agoThings unique to Chrome that don't come from the OS: V8 Javascript engine, process isolation model, networking including new protocols like SPDY and possibly QUIC [1], auto-update (for browser and all apps and extensions) Chrome sync (for bookmarks, open tabs, apps, extensions). Don't forget that the Chrome team is now a major contributor to WebKit.
