WebKit is an open source web browser engine was originally created by Apple as a fork to the KHTML rendering engine, and it powers the Apple Safari , Google Chrome and Opera. Over 20 companies now contributing to the project. Now Google develop a new engine called Blink as part of the Chromium project, announced in Wednesday, April 03, 2013 . It is a fork of the WebKit engine. and Google Chrome and Opera will use blink as rendering engine in future versions of Chrome and Opera.

Why blink

Why blink- first look at the commits to the webkit project by different developers.

From the above Image we can understand that Google has been the most active contributor of WebKit in the recent years. This graph shows Google's number of "commits" to WebKit over the years. thats why BLINK .  Google will concentrate its browser development on Blink which will forgeot the WebKit project.WebKit is an open-source project so anyone can modify the software.till now Google and Apple together contributing to the same code base.Now With Blink Google will working very hard to add new features and new Web standards, Apple also. more heat on web developers head!

Apple mode no comments about the news. Look at the  googles words about blink

"Chromium uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects. This has slowed down the collective pace of innovation - so today, we are introducing Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit. n the short term, Blink will bring little change for web developers. The bulk of the initial work will focus on internal architectural improvements and a simplification of the codebase. For example, we anticipate that we’ll be able to remove 7 build systems and delete more than 7,000 files—comprising more than 4.5 million lines—right off the bat. Over the long term a healthier codebase leads to more stability and fewer bugs. "
