Changes that Google is introducing with its new rendering engine Blink for Chrome will begin to trickle out on all platforms except iOS by around June and developers won’t notice anything, according to Google.
Chrome web platform project manager Alex Komoroske and Blink engineers Darin Fisher and Eric Seidel answered developers’ questions about Google’s move to Blink yesterday in a panel discussion with Google Chrome developer relations manager, Paul Irish.
Komoroske said that at the beginning there won’t be much difference between Blink and WebKit, the web rendering engine that Blink is based on, and which Google and Apple had collaborated on until now.
Today’s developer version of Chrome, Canary (version 28), is already using Blink, but as Komorske notes, since Blink is built on the same code base, not much will change at least in the beginning.
