WebKit is a layout engine designed to allow web browsers to render web pages. WebKit powers the Apple Safari and Google Chrome browsers. As of 2012 it has the most market share of any layout engine at 36% of the browser market share according to StatCounter. It is also used as the basis for the experimental browser included with the Amazon Kindle ebook reader, as well as the default browser in the iOS, Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS and webOS mobile operating systems. The WebKit engine provides a set of classes to display web content in windows, and implements browser features such as following links when clicked by the user, managing a back-forward list, and managing a history of pages recently visited.
WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code originally began as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE, and has now been further developed by individuals from KDE, Apple Inc., Nokia, Google, Bitstream, RIM, Samsung, Igalia, and others.Mac OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, and some other Unix-like operating systems are supported by the project.
Mayhemic
From the dark past
Which can eternal lie
Their wrath tyrant.
Death may die
They watch upon the ancient temples.
Time so far
As mutilated steed
They ride the time
Once again
In unknown dimension
Inexorable pendulous sound the march.
We wait the time of their arrival
Towards new aeons of
Not order mayhemic.
They ride the violent way
The eternal stars are revolving
And I with them
In a perfect synchronism
Natural is life energy.
Alone questing the blinded voices
