message: Webkit isn´t just an Mac OS component anymore. It´s a base system for lots of other browsers, including safari, konqueror, Nokia Series 60 web browser and even Google´s Android platform web browser. So i think it should be and separated article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.52.194.143 (talk) 12:15, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The sentence "The next month Ars Technica published an article announcing that the KDE team was going to move from KHTML to WebKit." has a reference after it, but it is to Dot.KDE not Ars Technica, and I see no reference to Ars. Superm401 - Talk 22:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

message: KWQ is no longer part of WebCore or WebKit. You can see one of the commits that was involved in eliminating it here: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/15253, and a search for kwq* in my webkit checkout turns up nothing. I would suggest that the mentions of KWQ in the article either be removed, or be changed to be past tense. 71.236.163.69 (talk) 11:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "WebKit was originally derived by Apple Inc. from the Konqueror browser’s KHTML software library for use as the HTML rendering engine of Mac OS X’s Safari and Google Chrome web browsers,"
This makes it sound like Apple derived WebKit for Google Chrome.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.61.171.151 (talk) 01:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Can someone please add a list of browsers that uses WebKit as its rendering engine?
Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.15.87.73 (talk) 23:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The second sentence currently includes: "WebKit powers Google Chrome..."
If I remember correctly, only the HTML/CSS portions of WebKit are used in Chrome. Didn't Google create their own, separate JavaScript engine for Chrome? Perhaps this needs to be clarified in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.231.57 (talk) 22:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Chrome does not use JavaScriptCore, yes, but WebKit itself has an compile-time option to depend on V8 rather than JSC. So the functionality to use V8 is built into WebKit itself. If Chrome uses the WebKit APIs instead of talking to WebCore directly, Chrome uses WebKit. Additionally, Chrome not only uses the HTML renderer, it also uses Web Inspector. --KAMiKAZOW (talk) 02:10, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  WebKit in Chrome 

message: Attn.: intrepid Wikipedia editor(s)
Stub or no (if so, please indicate as much next to the title), the first paragraph of any article introduces the topic and as such, is of the upmost importance.  The first paragraph of article Webkit doesn’t pass muster on several counts and should therefore be rewritten, preferably from scratch.
*:The definition of Webkit fails miserably, merely describing what 
::Web browsers have always done, with or without being “powered” 
::(ugh!) by Webkit.
*:The second sentence is a run-on sentence.
*:The second sentence purports to describe a portion of Web 
::browser market share, venturing far off topic (think first 
::paragraph!) in the process.
Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
