Ehh, I wouldn’t consider Safari “using chromium” at this point. It has been hard forked for years. Chrome could disappear tomorrow and it wouldn’t affect Safari development.

Safari has roots in chromium? I thought it was WebKit or something else for it's engine.

Safari is using WebKit. WebKit started as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE and has since been further developed by  KDE contributors, Apple, Google, Nokia, Bitstream, BlackBerry, Sony, Igalia and others. On April 3, 2013, Google announced that it had forked WebCore, a component of WebKit, to be used in future versions of Google Chrome, under the name Blink. Source: Wikipedia
