Development on KHTML stopped 8 years ago and it was officially buried last 
year. Apple forked KHTML 20 years ago to get WebKit. Google improved 
WebKit before forking Blink 11 years ago. WebKit is still a problem since 
any browser ported to iOS has to use it.

You could say the AC Cobra 427 was a fork of the AC Ace, a pleasant but 
not particularly rapid British sports car before Shelby got his hands on 
one.
