Chrome changes from WebKit to Blink

Blink is the new rendering engine for Chrome, created by Google and Opera Software. Do you think Chrome will change drastically with this new engine?

I read somewhere Google removed almost 9 million lines of code from WebKit when developing Blink, so I think it may.

I hope that it's for the better, personally. I kind-of liked Chrome as it was, so hopefully this doesn't affect things in a bad way.

Well, the new version of Opera is Chrome-based so if that's any sign. Tongue

Serious? Wow...
Maybe I should upgrade my version of Opera haha.

In that case... maybe Opera will become a browser that's actually good Tongue

Removing 9 million lines... I couldn't do that. If I had to overhaul my project that much, I'd just rewrite Tongue

. And Opera is fairly nice, but it has a lot of unneeded features.

Agreed. 9 million lines is a lot of code for sure.
