- Skalman 13y agoYes, it has. I think that's why it was posted - someone at Opera predicted/suggested/wanted this to happen.
- georgemcbay 13y agoTrue, but there is also a bit of irony to the request in hindsight because the main thrust of the argument was that the more heterogenous the browser market was, the better it would be for web standards. However, after Google forked WebKit Opera adopted Blink as their rendering engine, making the whole situation basically a wash in the context of the original argument.
- winter_blue 13y agoBlink is just a fork of WebCore, not WebKit. There's more to WebKit than WebCore.
- jbroman 13y agoBlink is a fork of the entire WebKit repository. The lion's share of that is WebCore (especially after removing platform bindings that don't apply to Chromium), but it's entirely fine to call it a fork of WebKit.
