- thefreeman 12y agoI believe he is referring to the fact that iOS Chrome is the only version still using WebKit
- nnnnni 12y agoYes, that's exactly what I meant. I think that a few people may have missed that due to the fact that my comment is currently at -2.
- cwyers 12y agoThat's because Apple's TOS only allows their system build of WebKit in approved apps, so Google can either use approved WebKit or they can go sit on their thumbs and spin. It's not a voluntary act on Google's part; they would use Blink if Apple allowed it.
- tlinton 12y agoSort of, they're very similar still. In actually the layout is almost exactly the same, its the rendering and compositing that has significantly changed between the two.
