History is funny. KHTML (a KDE project) was repurposed to WebKit by Apple and integrated with Safari. Which in turn was taken by Google that built Chrome on it. They later diverged more and now other browser are being built on repurposed Chrome. It would be funny if Safari was really replaced by Chromium as that would mean the offspring has eaten the parent.

It actually extends further -- QTWebEngine is now a stripped-down version of Chromium.
