    Thank you, I used to know the rendering engines fairly well a few years ago, but I’m out of the loop now.

    What about WebView? It’s the rendering engine used in Android, closely related to Blink I assume.

      I honestly wasn’t super familiar with WebView until you asked!

      It looks like WebView is a stripped-down browser, more than anything else. It can leverage different rendering engines depending on the platform, and on Android it looks like it leverages Blink just like Chrome.
