Chrome 28 Lands in the Dev Channel, the First to Use Blink Instead of WebKit

[R0H1T]

Google Chrome 28 has graduated to the dev channel, with Chrome 27 moving to the beta channel earlier this week. There's not much to say about the latest version, it's very much the same as Chrome 27.

In the coming weeks, more features will be added, but for now there's not much in there.

However, there's one notable thing about Chrome 28, it's going to be the first to feature Blink, the new layout engine Google has started developing based on the WebKit core. It's still running WebKit for now.

Not much is going to change so fast, in essence, Blink is still very much WebKit. And it's going to stay that way for a while, the first changes will be under the hood, nothing that will affect users or even web developers all that much.

Been using this for over a week now, since chromium v28 launched, but didn't realize it had blink till now ~

Chromium (trunk) has Blink (@147774). ;)

The one thing I've noticed with chromium revisions 28.0.1456 to this latest one(28.0.1469) is that besides having blink they've also had progressively lower memory consumption !
