    Surf is just a wrapper around WebKit, which is developed by Apple and used in Safari. Surf isn’t a from-scratch browser implementation.

      Oh, I honestly didn’t remember that, and just put that in as an afterthought. Should have double checked myself. Thanks for the clarification.

      Well anyways. I love this subject enough to admit when I’m wrong. And also, in researching the subject more, I found that there is the Ladybird Browser which is apparently not based on Chromium nor Firefox. I have not played around with it, but it’s nice to see people still putting in effort to make a new browser engine.

      I also found this article where the author makes a browser based off of Matt Brubeck’s aforementioned article. Very interesting stuff.
