Safari still uses the WebKit engine... right?

Google Chrome used to use WebKit before switching to their own weird engine that a whole bunch of other browsers now use.

google uses blink which is forked from WebKit

Named as such because, like Weeping Angels, if you blink you'll be sent back to a society without enforcement of antitrust laws

actually the name of Blink engine is quite interesting, it was named after the non-standard html blink tag and ironically it never supported it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine)#Naming
