Chrome was forked from WebKit but had been it’s own engine for a very long time at this point. They share ancestry but are pretty different.

Edge is literally built off a relatively recent version of Chromium. It’s not a separate engine.

Every iOS browser today runs on Apple Webkit. No exceptions. Thats an apple rule.

Sorry. I didn’t notice you were talking about iOS only.

I would hope mobile browser share numbers already take this into account, though I don’t know.

I think they pretty clearly dont since iOS is definitely more than 5% of the mobile market.
