Comment on Why does this png display differently in Chrome/Firefox than in Safari/IE?

Interesting that Chrome (on OS X) displays a pear. I was under the impression Chrome used Core Graphics which would have exhibited this behaviour too?

Maybe not.

Chrome for Mac used to use CoreGraphics, but it switched to Skia because Skia was a lot faster at drawing stuff. (It still uses CoreText for rasterizing fonts, and Cocoa for drawing buttons.)

Chrome uses Skia instead of CoreGraphics according to this: http://paulirish.com/2013/webkit-for-developers#webkit-commo...
