So, Atlas, Comet, Edge, Dia, Brave, Opera, etc are all Chromium.

And any browser on iOS uses the safari engine under the hood?

Looks like we are down to two browsers.

First, Chromium is also based on WebKit so that means really only one browser engine.

Second, I imagine so many web sites and web applications have, knowingly or unknowingly, made themselves dependent on WebKit or Chromium specific behavior, it's almost impossible to write a new browser compatible with all (or even most) of the web.

Chromium is Blink and whatever common ancestor they share has diverged much over the past decade
