[Irl-dean] Google browser

[Joshue O Connor]

Hi Claude,

Webkit is the browser engine that was used to build both Chrome and 
Safari. Why it is there, I don't know. Sometimes however a browser can 
be designed to identify itself as another. Opera used to do this by 
containing http info that would trick a server into thinking it was a 
certain version of IE in order to be served the IE CSS. This was 
probably before developers were designing using web standards, were 
using quirksmode, CSS with less hacks and so on. [1]

There could of course be other reasons, <insert speculation here>

Cheers

Josh
