   seen people post an image about how many browsers are Chromium under the covers these days, except Firefox, which is true (and why I use Firefox). Here's an addition to that bit of knowledge, because of the #AppleBrowserBan .

     @avlcharlie Firefox is based on Mozilla's engine, Gecko. Safari and Epiphany are based on WebKit, and every browser on iOS is required to be a Safari webview. Most other browsers (except on iOS) these days are based on Blink, Chrome's engine, which started as a fork of WebKit but has evolved differently. (As you note, Opera was based on Presto, Opera's engine, a long time ago, but is now Chromium.)

     @sil @avlcharlie Many (most?) aren't merely using Blink, they're straight up Chromium forks.

     @sil last I checked, and it's been a while, every browser is based on webkit. Opera was a holdout but fell.
