11 The situation with Webkit and KHTML is ... difficult. The type of Webkit
12 engine you use in Chrome is different from what you use in Safari and so
13 on. Everyone forks it, adapts it into his eco-system and adds features.
14 Some are later merged by other, others not.

16 I guess we will not see a merge of kthmlpart with kwebkitpart in the
17 near future but a common influx from both sides: kwebkitpart will get
18 better integration, khtmlpart (or qt-webkit) will get better
19 performance. In the mean time, you might be interested in this ticket:
