If google chrome uses WebKit, can I create my own "chrome"? [closed]

Question

Google chrome browser uses WebKit for HTML/CSS/JavaScript/etc... rendering, which means Google Inc. used something available to everyone, and didn't create anything on their own

So, if WebKit is free, I can use it to create my own browser with same speed as chrome? Did Google only create an interface and not develop the rendering engine?

Answer 1

Basically you are right, but also keep in mind google chrome uses V8 as their javascript-engine. And you might extend this line of thought for other parts needed to build a fully functioning browser.
You'd also need (cross platform) code to launch and display your 'chrome' ui and have it interact with the os.
