Thank you for being corrective about the WebKit thing.

I wish media and others would be more accurate when talking about browsers. All these "Chrome-based" browsers are not "based" on Chrome at all, they are just using Blink, the rendering engine, which Chrome/Chromium also uses. And Blink itself is based on/forked from WebKit, funny enough.

    I don't get all the fuss about browsers. google and apple are really just trying to make sure everyone is using a KHTML based browser, out of the goodness of their heart, so it is good for everyone. KHTML is good. don't fight against it.

    Any particular reason why it's "good for everyone", or it just is?

    Diversity and non-monopoly is good.
