Is there any way to detect that the user is coming with Blink or Webkit powered Chrome engine? By the way i'm also curious about if i can check somewhere if my browser is with blink or not.

[...] detect that the user is coming with Blink or Webkit powered Chrome engine

I guess the question is looking for a solution to detect "Chromium" browser regardless how its engine is called ("Webkit", "Blink", "FutureEngine3000") or how the browser is commercially called ("Chrome", "Edge", "Brave"*, ...).

In that case, try the User-Agent Client Hints API:

{
  const isChromium = brand => brand.brand === "Chromium";
  console.log(!!globalThis.navigator?.userAgentData?.brands?.some(isChromium));
}

For other properties, see https://user-agent-client-hints.glitch.me/javascript.html.

* Some browsers explicitly hide navigator.userAgentData from being read. See e.g. Brave PR 11932.
