Its hard to find any real data on this. If you have any, please share.
Granted
WebKit is lagging behind and Safari (the only major browser using it) is
being
called the new IE6, but it is still an active and popular rendering engine.
You can test Konq on your machine, for me I get 355 in
html5test.com
Chrome switched to Blink in version 28
I tested Konqueror 355
From the site [1]
Chrome 24 433
Safari 9 400
Safari 8 396
So even 2 years ago, Chrome is ahead of what we have now.

Actually, that makes much more sense. (to be clear, Chromium not Chrome)
- It has better support for a lot of things.
- It is targeted by more developers which means that less things will go
wrong
- It integrates better with KDE.
- Google has not yet decided to enforce any central control on it.
- It is possible to get "new" flash.
- The UI is familiar and can be synced with existing accounts for a larger
part of the population.
And if what Kevin said about the development of Blink is true, then there
is
still a hope we can get it in Fedora.
Off course this is all in the future, but I think it underlines the
unnecessary
change to Firefox because it is not a good choice either for non-power
users.
