#Webkit needs more exposure to mainstream users, and needs to be accessible on #Linux.

Everyone forgets about it, yet it's a respectible browser engine to my knowledge, and nobody seems to use it besides Apple and some light weight Linux browsers. In this browser monoculture, I'm unsure of why it isn't more popular with the alternative browser developers and users.

Like, as someone who cares about competition in this space, I know about Brave, Vivaldy and all the other Chromium based browsers, I obviously know about Firefox, and I even know about some of its forks, like Pale Moon and LibreWolf, but if you asked me what browsers were available using Webkit, and how to get them, the only real answer I would have for you is "Get a mac, use Safari." I need to investigate this more.

@TheFake_VIP GNOME Web (formerly known as Epiphany) is probably the second most notable WebKit-using browser (besides maybe various iOS browsers which use the system WebKit).

@othermaciej @TheFake_VIP wouldn’t Konqueror still be WebKit*, too?

* and, way back in the day, KHTML, from which WebKit had forked
