those are just rebranded chrome(ium). all browsers except firefox and safari are rebranded chromium or firefox. edit: there are some other projects but none are mature.

Apple also maintains their own browser engine, but that's Apple.

yes, safari is apple.

Ah, I guess I read over the first bit to where you mentioned the rebrands, which didn't include Safari.

To still add some useful information: all browsers on iOS are rebranded Safari, because Apple only permits their own browser engine.

(The EU ruling may change this, however)
