That's a dang shame then :/

Apple's a big company - but we saw how they mishandled their own first-party Maps service after divorcing from Google - I can see Apple's Safari potentially falling behind badly if they can't keep-up with Google's work on Blink.

In fact, I can't think of any webkit developments that positively surprised me the past few years; development seems glacial, at best. A list of somewhat notable stuff chromium and gecko have that webkit is still missing:

Stuff because it's better to make your devs pay licenses for no good reason:

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=webp

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=av1

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=opus

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=ogg-vorbis

- In "fairness": https://caniuse.com/#feat=hevc

There's a whole bunch of stuff that would make it easier for webapps to replace app store apps or otherwise appear native; can't have that!

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=vibration (trying to push people to the apple app store?)

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=webgl2

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=fullscreen

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=registerprotocolhandler

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-containment

Weird stuff:

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=flow-root (supported on osx, not ios?)

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=input-datetime (mostly supported on ios, but not osx?)

There are the missing features that just seem there to bug users and devs:

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=link-icon-png (I mean, seriously?)

Then there's useful stuff they don't seem to be willing to work with:

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-text-align-last

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=requestidlecallback

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=shadowdomv1

- https://caniuse.com/#feat=custom-elementsv1

Obviously, there are features that webkit has that others do not, but by and large they're not as interesting or plausibly useful.

Webkit is definitely not blink; not anymore.
