Definitive Best Browser Engine

[zer0]

mozilla/firefox now that firefox is catching steam a lot of pages are designed around mozilla compatability. but opera is a very powerful browser so for me it could go eather way

[r4esh]

I use IE and Firefox.

[ORBiTrus]

Firefox. But I'll switch to Konqueror if Firefox catches steam.

Then to Amaya [or someother unkown] if Konqueror catches steam.

Them to IE when...

So as longs as it's not the "big huge" one everyone else uses.... I'll use it.

Bah, maybe I'll write my own for a challenge. [good CS project too...]

You'll use a browser because it's not popular? Wow, talk about pathetic.

The safest browser is the one no malicious programmer would bother wasting time to attack. If no one is using it, almost no one will btoher exploiting a flaw.

Look at what he said. He said he'll use it because it's not "the big one". He neither said nor implied anything about security.

And that is BS. Firefox nor Opera will ever be as security-bug-ridden as IE. People attack IE because it's EASY.. not because more people use it.

[sebastian_insua]

Gecko...

PS... Changing to a new username again, and guess what I'll vote Gecko with that one too...

[Hottie]

I like TouchNet Browser,it's so cool!!!

Definitely Opera.It is da fastest.So it's engine is da best.

[x-byte]

I think Opera have the best engine.. It's THE fastest, no doubt. It's also very fleksible...

[ventrox]

i voted for IE

used the others once... but never really got to like them...

[computerjuvenile]

Fire Fox is the best :woot:

[burning_jonny]

I vote for standards compliance. So far Gecko (Mozilla Firefox) is my #1 (Y).

Both KHTML (Safari) and Presto (Opera) gets thumbs up. (Y)

BTW, doing a quick Google search, here are the names of common rendering engines:

• Gecko (Mozilla)
  
• KHTML (Safari, Konqueror)
  
• Presto (Opera)
  
• Trident (MSIE)
  
• Tasman (Mac IE)

How does Tasman [Mac IE] do in regards with rendering pages? Is it better than Internet Explorer for Windows?

IE 5.2.3 for Mac OS X is better in some regards than its Windows counterpart. It has full support for CSS1, so if you code your site properly it's not bad.

When it came out it definitely was leaps and bounds better than IE5 for Win. Nowadays it's old skool.

[Sandor]

IE for me. fastest on my machine, loads all websites most accurately compared to others on my machine, and it doesnt use as much memory as FF in my experience.

i also dont really go for that tabbed stuff myself.

so IE. :)

[Bawx]

Maxthon all the way (formerly MyIE2). Why only those 3 options in the poll? :s

Maxthon is IE.

Maxthon owns all. MOUSE GESTURES, PEOPLE! Right click, close tab at the top of the list! Doesnt have enormous tabs! :)

[MulletRobZ]

It's always been Gecko, but I switched from Mozilla to Firefox a couple of months ago, seeing how 1.0 was a dramatic improvement from the previous releases.

It also correctly renders PNGs.

[nvizible]

umm.. as far as i can interpret with the limited skills i have acquired at deciphering the english language, i would say that he was not asking the question "which browser is the best?" but rather "which rendering engine is the best/most reliable?"

my vote goes to opera tbh, im using it now, i've used it for a long time, and i will be using it for a long time into the future! (me @ 7.6 tp 4)
