Google parts ways with Apple over WebKit, launches Blink Rendering Engine

Google parts ways with Apple over WebKit, launches Blink.

In a move that Google says will technologically liberate both Chrome and Safari, the company has begun its own offshoot of the WebKit browser engine project called Blink. Initially it uses the same software code base that all WebKit-based browsers share, but over time it will diverge into a totally separate project, Google announced today.

I’m sure that nothing bad will happen from having another almost-the-same web rendering engine out there.

Sigh
