Gecko? Do you mean Blink?

Gecko is the name of Firefox’s renderer. Blink is the name of chrome’s. WebKit is the name of Safari’s.

But there is no genetic relationship whatsoever between Gecko and Safari.

And then Reddit forced the bot to retire so they could offer a paid version. And now they’re retiring their mandatory replacement. Good job Reddit.
