What about Safari? Will Apple bend over to Googles will and use their new standard?

Apple strips any freedom its users might have. Disgusting and forever perplexing how this evil company is not getting the shit it deserves.

Woah ..even safari uses chromium ?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, safari is based on WebKit (which itself is based on KHTML from KDE). Chrome once upon a time was based on WebKit, but it's now based on a fork called blink.

In any case, this is more of a "will Apple implementation what Google wants implemented?" question. Same with Mozilla being in that list, they use a completely independent engine for Firefox that shares no lineage with Chrome.

It uses webkit, which Blink, Google's browser engine is a fork of.
