WebKit doesn't belong to Google (Apple started the project as a fork from KHTML), and they don't even use it anymore, they forked it in to Blink, which is what

  "They don't even use it anymore" is a bit of an exaggeration. "They made a fork of WebKit and renamed their fork Blink" is more accurate. It's still pretty close to the same thing.

    They should be over 100k commits apart by now. A lot happened in those 2 years.

      Well, sure, but a lot more happened in the preceding 10-15 years. Blink still has more in common with WebCore than it does with, say, Gecko, Trident or Presto.

        As a web developer or user, you can't really see the similarities anymore. The basic stuff like CSS 2.1 works the same everywhere. It's the new features where the browsers differ. http://caniuse.com/#compare=ie+TP,firefox+39,chrome+44,safari+8 http://caniuse.com/#compare=ie+TP,firefox+39,chrome+44,safar... Chrome matches Safari in 57 cases. However, Chrome matches Firefox in 61 cases. So, going by the implementation status of those features, Chrome might as well be using a fork of Gecko. Here is the script I used: for (let b = 1; b < 5; b++) { let r = [0, 0, 0, 0]; [].forEach.call($$('tbody tr'), function (row) { for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) { r[i] += +(row.cells[i + 1].className === row.cells[b].className); } }); console.log(r); } Output: [130, 35, 36, 48] [35, 130, 61, 36] [36, 61, 130, 57] [48, 36, 57, 130]
