About this tag
WebKit is the browser engine used by Apple Safari and previously by Google Chrome, and it is a recurring topic on WindowsForum.com in discussions about browser compatibility, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues. Recent threads highlight critical WebKit flaws added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, such as memory corruption and use-after-free bugs actively exploited against Apple products. Other discussions cover Microsoft Edge's efforts to improve web interoperability, which includes aligning with WebKit standards, and troubleshooting user reports of the webkit2webprocess.exe process causing high CPU usage on Windows. The tag also appears in guides for setting default browsers and in historical references to Chrome's use of the WebKit layout engine.
