All good modern browsers are based either on firefox or chromium if I'm not terribly misinformed
I think Safari is WebKit.
Webkit is Chromium (or at least, Chromium is Webkit, since the inheritance goes in the other direction).
The only ^1^ browser engine that is a completely separate and independent codebase from Chrome is Firefox's.
(^1^ aside from extremely niche/unusable stuff like Lynx)
Close. Chromium uses Blink which was originally a fork of WebKit. I have no idea how much they've diverged since then.
The fork was 11 years ago, so a lot. So much that they are considered different engines now.
fair enough, although I'm not sure that falls in the "good" category :P
