Wha- hold up... I'm not sure I understand...
Chrome was based on WebKit?
I'm not aware about the old stuff as much so if someone could fill me in...
WebKit is a rendering engine which is one of the major components of a web browser. Chrome/Chromium was released in 2008 using a modified version of WebKit as its rendering engine. Eventually in 2013 they created a fork of WebKit called Blink, which is the current rendering engine for Chrome/Chromium.
I see... Interesting.
Does anyone remember Microsoft Edge's original engine? Was that an original base or also a fork of something?

I see... Thanks!
I honestly liked the old Edge as well. E Was sad to see it being abandoned.
