Of the gecko-based browsers, only firefox counts, and of the webkit browsers, only safari and chrome count - as far as webpage designers are concerned. Even without chrome, my argument stands. Apple forked webkit from khtml, which had an insignificant presence earlier; if Apple had written their own engine from scratch, it would still have benefited standards compliance and browser neutrality among webpages.
