why on earth would you even assume somthing like this?

honestly curious. do you think "based on chrome" means they forked the engine and not just "applied some UI skin"?

The CVE itself only lists Chrome as the "affected software configuration", and I missed the line saying other browsers in the blog post, so I had a slight doubt. Other projects could use a drop-in replacement lib for the CSS, that's something one sees sometimes for other things (e.g. crypto libs - some projects have compile-time options ready for this).

They would have been if they could patch and release under a day. They are not affected only because they lag behind a little.

Why do you dream things up? no chrome based browser will do html/js/css different. it's all hooked deep in the engine. they only add things on top and change the chrome (the confusingly named ux component)
