(1) Blink cannot run alone, and (2) porting to other platforms happens at a different layer   

　　Instead of adding platform-specific code to Blink, you should use Chromium’s content layer, which provides an implementation of this virtual platform on a wide variety of operating systems including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Android. A separate project called the Chromium Embedded Framework is probably the easiest way to use Chromium (and thus Blink) on your platform.

 Porting Blink

Blink only supports one abstract platform, Chrome implements support for the actual platforms: Windows, Linux, Android, etc.

WebKit employs support for all the different platforms it works on, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and so on, at the low level.

Blink, on the other hand, will support an abstract platform and only one. The code that has to be different for the different platforms will be in Chrome and not in Blink.

"Blink runs on an abstract platform inside of a sandbox and therefore has few operating system-specific dependencies. This design has two consequences: (1) Blink cannot run alone and (2) porting to other platforms happens at a different layer," the project's homepage explains.

Chromium's Content module implements the abstract platform and contains the platform-specific code. So the fastest way to port Blink or embed it into another browser is to use this Content module as is.

In turn, this means that anyone wanting to adopt Blink will have to incorporate several components from Chromium as well. This means it will be harder for others to use Blink rather than WebKit.

The upside is that Blink won't have any platform-specific concerns, meaning new features and changes can be done faster and easier.

And since Blink will be its own separate module, Chrome will be able to much better compartmentalize it for all of the processes, i.e. for all of the tabs, it's running. This means it will be faster and more secure than WebKit inside Chrome.
