WebKit is an open-source browser engine, the software that parses web pages and draws them on screen, developed primarily by Apple. It began as a fork of the KHTML engine from the KDE project and powers Apple's Safari browser as well as web content in many apps on macOS and iOS.

Google Chrome was originally built on WebKit as well, but in 2013 Google moved it to Blink, an engine forked from WebKit.
