I just listened to the Chrome podcast. You failed to mention that largest technical issue is the browser inability to properly handle client certificates. As a SaaS vendor, this is key to our ability to control access to the application. Everyone should stick with Firefox and/or Safari until this is addressed.

if youre gonna do history, give credit to originators:
Wikipedia: "WebKit began when Apple Inc. created a software fork of the KDE project?s HTML layout engine KHTML and KDE's JavaScript engine (KJS). "

Good solo effort.
