When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

How is Chrome based on Safari?

Thanks! Always happy to learn something new. This is saddening actually because it means that two of the big rendering engines today are more similar than different.

Google used Apples WebKit and is still closely aligned to it.

Edit: So while technically Chrome is not a fork of Safari, they used enough of Apples tech that personally I don’t think it can be considered a uniquely independent product.
