This is wrong. I'd say it's more like 5%. Blink forked from WebKit 7 years ago and development has been very active on both sides since then. And probably the majority of the attack surface is outside Blink/WebKit proper to start with (e.g. JS engine, font libraries, media decoding, networking, etc).

The JS engine is part of Blink and WebKit, but yes, they are essentially entirely different.

I don't know about JSC, but V8 is very much a standalone project. I guess you could define it as just part of Blink but I don't think that's a very useful definition.
