If google chrome uses WebKit, can I create my own "chrome"?
google-chrome, javascript, rendering, webkit
Solution
Basically you are right, but also keep in mind google chrome uses V8 as their javascript-engine. And you might extend this line of thought for other parts needed to build a fully functioning browser. You'd also need (cross platform) code to launch and display your 'chrome' ui and have it interact with the os.
Problem
Google chrome browser uses WebKit for HTML/CSS/JavaScript/etc... rendering, which means Google Inc. used something available to everyone, and didn't create anything on their own So, if WebKit is free, I can use it to create my own browser with same speed as chrome? Did Google only create an interface and not develop the rendering engine?
