Why do we use 'Webkit' when using Chrome?

Hi.

I may have missed it but I wondered why Guil mentions to use 'Webkit' as he/we are using Chrome? Can someone please tell me the reason why we use webkit when we're using Chrome.

Thanks, Gareth

Both Chrome and Safari are built on an HTML & CSS rendering engine called "Webkit". When you browse the internet using Chrome or Safari, you're really using Webkit.
