There are WebKit browsers other than Safari. But judging by how often I come across sites that render differently in Chrome and Safari, I don't know that we should draw too strong an equivalence between them either. (And while I can't speak for the downvoters because I'm not one of them, I suspect that it's not the facts presented in the post that are attracting the downvotes so much as that it's written in the form of a flame.)

Chrome doesn't use WebKit, it uses Blink, a fork of WebKit. I'm only referring to WebKit, the Apple open source browser project that builds and works on every major operating system including Windows. If you also want to talk about Blink, Google's browser project that, unlike IE/Spartan/Edge, also works on every major operating system, then that's fine, too. While we are at it, let's talk about Mozilla's browser and rendering engine that also works on every major operating system.

  > Chrome doesn't use WebKit, it uses Blink, a fork of WebKit. Chrome didn't render the same as Safari when Chrome used WebKit, either. You're caping up for this, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

    To be fair, Chrome certainly behaved (behaves) more similar to Safari than to browsers with completely unrelated engines.

      Only to a point. Font rendering, in particular, was significantly different between the two, even Windows/Windows and Mac/Mac. It was enough to make life difficult.
