Description Tim Buschtoens CLA 2014-08-12 05:11:35 EDT 
There have been some changes recently regarding the webkit engine:
-Webkit has been forked by google to create the blink engine
-Opera has adopted blink
-Many of the browser switches we have regarding webkit are likely no longer needed

I therefore propose we:
-Detect current Opera, Chrome and Chromium as blink.
-Discontinue support for old Opera engine 
-Discontinue support for webkit versions older than ~2 years
-Adjust browser switches accordingly
