Isn't Chromium just a repackaging of KHTML from the KDE project?

    KHTML -> Webkit -> Blink
             \_ Safari   \_ Chromium
              |_ Epiphany  |_ Opera 15+
                           |_ Vivaldi

Is it really? The last time I played with that it was almost unusable. (must've been more than a decade ago).

WebKit was originall a fork of KHTML. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit#Origins

Yes, and if Google was bad-mouthing KDE then we should call them out for it. What was your point?

My point is Vivaldi using Chrome is irrelevant in this discussion. Writing Chrome doesn't give Google a free pass on antitrust and intimidation issues.
