- dontlaugh 11mo agoSure. KHTML wasn’t embeddable outside KDE either until Apple made that happen.
- ASalazarMX 11mo agoThat was always KHTML's goal, but Apple saw value in it for their business plan, just like it saw value in FreeBSD to reuse as their OS's base.
- dontlaugh 11mo agoSure. I wasn’t trying to say that Apple made WebKit from scratch, merely that they developed it into something easily embeddable. That very much was novel at the time.
