WebKit

WebKit is a software engine that powers web browsers by interpreting and displaying web pages. Think of it as the foundation that reads the code of websites—like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—and renders their content so users see formatted text, images, videos, and interactive elements correctly. Used by browsers like Safari, WebKit ensures websites are displayed consistently and efficiently across devices. It handles complex tasks such as layout, graphics, and scripting, serving as a critical component that enables smooth, fast, and accurate web browsing experiences.
