FYI for the author:

> Chrome was built from scratch by Google, while Safari was originally derived from the KDE project's Konqueror browser engine, KHTML.

This isn’t correct. Chrome’s engine, Blink, was forked in 2013 from WebKit, the engine used by Safari which was itself forked from KHTML.

Thanks! I’ll update this shortly

Chrome using WebKit is probably the single largest non-cash payment given to Apple in the history of the world.

Safari has already some inroads in mobile but chrome pushed WebKit to the forefront renderer.
