That's a mug's game. The best you can do is exactly what Webkit does, because that's what you're trying to imitate. You won't do it 100% perfectly (all software has bugs), so in any direct comparison you come out looking worse.

The behind-the-scenes API stuff may be no better, but the product's user experience can be better, and that can differentiate it from its competitors.

This is how Vivaldi (and I guess every other Chromium-based browser) pitches itself compared to Chrome.
