Mozilla hit with privacy complaint over Firefox user tracking in c/[email protected]

Completely agree. I understood WebKit to be a different browse engine than chromium or Firefox.

While chromium and Firefox have wider platform options, there’s “kind of” a 3rd runner even though locked to apple.

I agree Linux and open source is king.

I was thinking WebKit was closer to Netscape in origin.

You made me go look it up. 😉 and I think we’re both wrong…. (Here’s my edit…. Poster above is right. I read it wrong, so only I am wrong on the origin of WebKit)

Below from Wikipedia:

WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS software libraries from KDE.

On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome

There’s also the xbrowsersync extension if you just want to save and sync bookmarks.

I may be a lost lemming though based on the community…
