Web Platform for Embedded (WPE) is a WebKit port designed for embedded applications; it further improves the architecture by splitting the basic rendering functional blocks into a general-purpose routines library (libwpe), platform backends, and engine itself (called WPE WebKit). The GTK port, albeit self-contained, can be built to use these ...
WebKit: Active Apple: GNU LGPL, BSD-style: Safari browser, plus all browsers for iOS; [3] GNOME Web, Konqueror, Orion: Blink: Active Google: GNU LGPL, BSD-style: Google Chrome and all other Chromium-based browsers including Microsoft Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Huawei Browser, Samsung Browser, and Opera [4] Gecko: Active Mozilla: Mozilla Public
To create Chrome, Google chose to use Apple's WebKit engine. [2] However, Google needed to make substantial changes to the WebKit code to support its novel multi-process browser architecture. [1] [3] Over the course of several years, the divergence from Apple's version increased, so Google decided to officially fork its version as Blink in 2013 ...
Google originally used WebKit for its Chrome browser but eventually forked it to create the Blink engine. [10] All Chromium -based browsers use Blink, as do applications built with CEF , Electron , or any other framework that embeds Chromium.
The version of Safari included in Mac OS X v10.6 (and later versions) is compiled for 64-bit architecture. Apple claimed that running Safari in 64-bit mode would increase rendering speeds by up to 50%. [170] WebKit2 has a multiprocess API for WebKit, where the web-content is handled by a separate process than the application using WebKit.
Origyn Web Browser (OWB) is a discontinued web browser that was synchronized with WebKit and sponsored by the technology company Pleyo. OWB provides a meta-port to an abstract platform with the aim of making porting to embedded or lightweight systems faster and easier.
CEF 1 is a single-process implementation based on the Chromium WebKit API. It is no longer actively developed or supported. [5] CEF 3 is a multi-process implementation based on the Chromium Content API and has performance similar to Google Chrome. [6]
Other WebKit-based browsers and the Bun runtime system also use it. KJS from KDE was the starting point for its development. [13] Chakra is the engine of the Internet Explorer browser. It was also forked by Microsoft for the original Edge browser, but Edge was later rebuilt as a Chromium-based browser and thus now uses V8. [14] [15]
