    WebKit is a rendering engine which is one of the major components of a web browser. Chrome/Chromium was released in 2008 using a modified version of WebKit as its rendering engine. Eventually in 2013 they created a fork of WebKit called Blink, which is the current rendering engine for Chrome/Chromium.

        Remember Konqueror? That’s KDE’s web browser, which still uses KHTML. I should try it out again and see how it’s held up.

          I’m not sure, but didn’t Konqueror switch to qtwebkit at some point? Or was that a different qt-based browser?
