ivand67 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I was using firefox before sp2, but after microsoft added the popup blocker I went back to IE. 584608690[/snapback] That's a big mistake my friend - IE is still terrible, despite the very minor additions under SP2. Its features don't even compare to Firefox - the best browser in the world.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted February 5, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2005 I cant remember if i have posted in this thread, so ill post. Gecko for me, although i would happily vote for the KHTML engine, and the one that powers opera. Also, the people voting for Trident, apart from it's rendering speeds, how can you like it, it supports jack all web standards.

Neil Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Gecko the reason is becasue it is widely used, altough I think IE engine is good as well because more websites work with it, but thats becasue IE is more widely recognise in the world Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/221417-definitive-best-browser-engine/page/11/#findComment-585498127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burly Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Gecko the reason is becasue it is widely used? None of your last post nezermundy makes any sense at all. Anyway for me Firefox/Gecko without a doubt.

worbd Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I would have to say Presto, the engine in Opera. It's smaller, faster and more capable than other engines. Presto fits neatly on a mobile phone, while Gecko has a really hard time with that. They are working on stripping down Gecko for mobiles, calling it Minimo, but who wants a stripped down browser when they can have the real thing - Presto?

Jessehk Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Opera = every feature needed, excellent overall Firefox = very easily customized, active community of Dev's Maxthon ( ie shell ) = tons of features, very extend-able, active community, more secure then ie.

First of all, this isn't about each browser, but about the engines! There are other threads for comparing browsers. That said, Opera has a very active community! It's got a huge forum.

aman01 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 The reason I choose Firefox is because of its widely available extension, skinable and performance wise although it lose to Opera in term of speed. and no problem with all site either. :cool: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/221417-definitive-best-browser-engine/page/11/#findComment-585552141 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about browser engines! Not browsers! There's Presto (Opera's engine), Trident (Internet Explorer's engine), Gecko (the engine of Firefox, Mozilla, and Netscape), and KHTML (the engine of Konqueror and Safari).
