Chrome is on there and people still use it. It’s just not using Blink. Web browser ≠ rendering engine.

Is a web browser still a web browser if you remove the rendering engine?

I would say not.

Is a rendering engine still a web browser if you remove all the chrome and extra features built around the rendering engine?

I would say not.

And it has a rendering engine: the iOS WebKit engine. It’s not Google’s preferred rendering engine and Chrome isn’t my choice of browser well, anywhere at all actually, but it’s still a functional web browser.
