   If you are going to build a browser, it HAS TO have a layout engine; you   
   don't want to start w/ a hammer and chisel. The open source chromium's   
   engine is actually blink, off webkit a long time ago.   
      
   If you are 'politically' anti-google, I'm not sure that should extend to   
   everything opensource that google has ever contributed.
