It’s one of the few browsers that’s not powered by Chrome, so yeah.
Modern Chrome and Safari used to share the same open source engine until it was forked. They're not that different from each other
But Google has no influence over WebKit/Safari
They’ve been diverged for nearly 10 years, and their features and compatibility vary significantly at this point.
Yes, they share the same WebKit roots, but Safari isn’t likely to make it impossible to block ads any time soon. That’s difference enough.
