AI-based chromium forks are becoming as common as AI-based visual studio code forks. I wouldn't be surprised if AI-based Linux distros started becoming popular too. Seems the ideal workflow is to fork off of existing open-source solutions, add paid features and lock behind paywall, make profit.

I want more Webkit forks rather than more Chromium forks. That battery life is critical for me on my Mac and I think Webkit returning to Windows would be interesting too!

Have you checked out Orion? It is WebKit based.
