According to Wikipedia

Flow is a web browser with a proprietary rendering engine that claims to "dramatically improve rendering performance". Its JavaScript engine, however, is the SpiderMonkey engine of Firefox

"It’s a new layout engine and new rendering engine. Everything other than the JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey) is written from scratch." https://twitter.com/FlowBrowser/status/1200098712816631809

IIRC their layout engine is a proprietary product written from scratch.
