WebKit is controlled almost entirely by Apple.

Chrome and Safari all belong to the same family. Blink is a fork of Webkit. Making Chrome the strongest family member in terms of market share.

WebCore is already far diverged from Blink, and V8 was made from the scratch. WebKit is a solid alternative to Chromium.
