Where can I find out the version of chromium the browser is based on?

The project needs to list the minimum versions of supported browsers. Let's say we figured out the minimum version of chrome, fox, etc. according to information from CanIUse. However, there is no information about many browsers based on Chromium. For example, Yandex browser or Vivaldi. Where can I find information that, for example, Yandex browser version X is based on Chromium version Y?

Today I encountered a similar question and did not see an adequate answer to the question asked anywhere, but after a little research I understood why: in this case, the phrase "based on" and "uses" is not synonymous. In 2008, Google engineers took the source code of the progect chromium browser and started building their own on top of it, and as a result, chromium is not some kind of plug-in in google chrome (and everyone who followed in its footsteps), which can be independently updated, but rather an ideological inspirer from which inherited the original architecture, some visual solutions and part of the code base. To date, the differences have accumulated so much that comparing the availability of use with the original version of chromium ... is at least optimistic.
Nevertheless, all chromum descendants have a common independent module - webkit and it just does the main work in the context of the question about CanIUse. I didn’t find the webkit version in the google chrome settings, but it is enabled by User Agent, so it’s enough to open the headers of any outgoing request or open the chrome://version/ page (well, or similar for any other browser) and opposite the User Agent inscription should be something like Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.77 Safari/537.36 where AppleWebKit/537.36 is the number we are interested in.
I spent about 15 minutes researching the issue, so maybe I misunderstood something.
PS technically your project can be run through webpack+babel with the most brutal polymorphism and listed in the list of supported browsers: all .
