AFAIK They use Skia, the rendering library made by Google so this does not appear true either.
Well that sucks. There are so many alternatives with just as much support
skia doesn't actually have that many alternatives, and skia is well maintained used by a large amount of projects. and none I am aware of are nearly as mature as skia is.
I mean, to be fair, Skia appears to be good - Firefox and LibreOffice also use it for example. I believe GNOME Web will also use Skia in GNOME 47. It certainly seems that people are moving away from Cairo and into Skia. For what reason? I don't know.
