Blink is a browser engine developed as part of the free and open-source Chromium project. Blink is by far the most-used browser engine, due to the market share dominance of Google Chrome and the fact that many other browsers are based on the Chromium code. To create Chrome, Google chose to use Apple's WebKit engine. [2]
For example, the WebKit engine was created by forking the KHTML engine in 2001. [1] Then, in 2013, a modified version of WebKit was officially forked as the Blink engine. [ 2 ]
Outside of the European Union, [9] Apple mandates all browsers on iOS to use WebKit as their engine. [10] Google originally used WebKit for its Chrome browser but eventually forked it to create the Blink engine. [11] All Chromium-based browsers use Blink, as do applications built with CEF, Electron, or any other framework that embeds Chromium.

Chrome initially used the WebKit rendering engine to display web pages. In 2013, they forked the WebCore component to create their own layout engine Blink. Based on WebKit, Blink only uses WebKit's "WebCore" components, while substituting other components, such as its own multi-process architecture, in place of WebKit's native implementation. [16]
Blink is about 10 weeks away from landing in the stable version of Chrome (it's expected to be turned on by default in version 28), but it's already available as part of the Canary build.
On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome and the Opera web browser, under the name Blink. [12] [13] Its JavaScript engine, JavascriptCore, also powers the Bun server-side JS runtime, [14] as opposed to V8 used by Node.js, Deno, and Blink.
CEF 3 is a multi-process implementation based on the Chromium Content API and has performance similar to Google Chrome. [6] It uses asynchronous messaging to communicate between the main application process and one or more render processes (Blink + V8 JavaScript engine).
