  Chrome forked Webkit in 2012 to create Blink. It is reasonable to assume they have somewhat diverged since.

    That’s also hugely in part because Apple develops Webkit at a snails pace. Some say they gimp their own rendring engine so that it isn’t competitive with native applications from the App Store. This way, there’s less incentive for developers to make web-apps to avoid the 30% app store tax.
