All browsers are either based on Chrome or Firefox. There's no alternative.
Doesn't Safari use a different codebase? It's not available on non-Apple platforms, but it's good to know that there are still engineers working on a different codebase.
Chrome is definitely a fork of Safari in a way. Or more accurately, Blink is a fork of Webkit.
So really, all modern browsers are either forks of KHTML / KJS or are based on the Mozilla codebase. But, at least right now, there are 3 separate engineering teams working on 3 independent codebases. Which hopefully will mitigate some of the issues you get when one company completely controls a software "ecosystem".
Well, there’s Chromium and then there’s Chrome.
All browsers are either based on KHTML or Netscape. There's no alternative.
You see that's a sort of weird way of looking at it?
