@bennytjia read this thread slowly.

WebKit, the rendering engine originally used in Safari (not Safari the application), nowadays powers Chrome, iOS, Android, BB and a hundred other browsers/platforms. In simple words: the absolute majority of mobile browsers use webkit, plus >50% of desktops/laptops.
