      Using Blink without using Chromium is nearly impossible. Blink isn't really a "batteries included" web engine like WebKit; it requires a lot of stuff from the Chromium layer to actually function. Not sure it's even possible any more to draw a line around the piece that is Blink.

      People outside Google have made a thing called Chromium Embedded Framework that works as an embeddable engine, but as you can tell from the name, it still has a lot of code from the Chromium level. Electron also does something similar.

      Ish? WebKit is like a very complete kit-car. Includes > 1/2 of what you need to render a webpage; graphics, networking, & storage are all BYO but easily pluggable. Blink is an engine designed to be run on one chassis (chromium's //content layer); you buy them as a tested package

          Alex knows who I am. And I’m pretty sure he’s never written a WebKit app for Mac or iOS. Not sure why he thinks he can explain how WebKit works to me...

          It's like the difference between buying a motherboard+CPU+cooler pre-integrated vs doing it yourself. Or perhaps like buying a Mac vs spending hours configuring a box on a PC vendor's site. Different level of abstraction.

          Not sure where you are getting that. WebKit has code for graphics, storage and networking. It’s true that you can plug in new bits to port it to other platforms. But if using on an existing platform you don’t have to. It just works.

          On platforms with a GUI UI builder, you can actually make a minimal browser app with zero lines of code.
