In more history, WebKit is a fork of KHTML. That's the reason why WebKit itself is open source.

Apparently there hasn't been active maintenance since 2016 though and it's officially dead since this year. RIP

Remember Konqueror? That's KDE's web browser, which still uses KHTML. I should try it out again and see how it's held up.

I'm not sure, but didn't Konqueror switch to qtwebkit at some point? Or was that a different qt-based browser?

Holdup idk webdev but if I got this right.

KDE made KHTML for Konqueror.
Apple used KHTML for WebKit.
Chrome used WebKit for Chromium.
Qt used Chromium for QtWebEngine.
KDE used QtWebEngine for Falkon.
