Google experiment ditches WebKit for its own engine in Chrome for iOS
on an experiment that would port Blink to iOS. The project is limited to the stripped-down"content_shell" app rather than Chrome, and the Chromium team working on the effort stresses that it's not a"shippable product." It's only meant to test graphics and input performance, the company says.
In a statement, a Google spokesperson told Engadget the Blink port is only a"prototype" that's part of a larger open source initiative. It won't be available to the public, and the company will"continue to abide" by Apple's rules. It's not clear why Google wants to test Blink on iOS in the first place, though. If Apple's policies stay firm, Google won't be allowed to release any Blink-based software. Only those experienced enough to compile and run content_shell may get a taste of the experience.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
