Chrome features are coming to WebKit
Well, it seems that I may not have to bother with Chrome at all. Its shared underpinnings with Safari mean that porting the best parts of Chrome to WebKit, and hence Safari, has already begun.
One of the larger innovations of Google Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, is incredibly fast. The WebKit project has its own new JavaScript engine, SquirrelFish, used in Mobile Safari and the WebKit nightlies. Still, the code base for V8 along with the Skia graphics library are making their way into the main WebKit repository. The Skia graphics library may already be in some of the newest nightly builds.
