Definitive Best Browser Engine

[CiwirXP]

my vote goes to Opera :-)

[Erftek]

Gecko - seems to load pages more diversely than other browsers...even if the page isn't up to web standards.

FireFox! :D

[Taruntemp]

Definitely Firefox, tweaked of course. :D

[krmathis]

Definitely Gecko, but WebKit (KHTML) has great potential as well.

[John S. Veteran]

I voted for FF a year ago when this thread started....I'm changing my vote to KHTML. :D

[vanguard382]

Opera all the way free, and fast!!!

[Crazysah]

We need to restart this poll you know!

[insanekiwi]

never had a problem with gecko (Y)

[mr_demilord]

Gecko "Firefox" all the way free, and fast!!! (Y)

[Abystar]

I'm using Maxthon that's based on IE. So, I vote for it!

It really depends on what you need.

Opera: Simple browsing, no frills, one of the faster web browsers.

Mozilla Firefox: Has speed(although not as fast as Opera), excellent tabbed browsing and optional add-on extensions. You can also change the ways it looks, too. My fave.

IE: To me, one of the worst. Popups come out of NOWHERE sometimes. Quite lag....but I suggest NOT to delete it. Certain software and website need IE to work.

Hope this will help you decide which browser is the better one for you.

Yes. Opera uses Opera redering engine and IE uses IE rendering engine. It's like Maxthon uses IE engine, Safari uses Khtml enigne and Flock (based on Firefox) uses Gecko engine. We aren't talking about the browser, but the engines that browsers use.

[Mouldy Punk]

Id say Gecko.

IEs engine: It's CSS and XHTML support is appalling. It does render pages relatively quickly though.

Opera: It's more standards compliant than IE, but still not perfect - there is no perfect browser engine though. Does sometimes render perfectly coded webpages wrongly for no apparent reason though.

Gecko: Renders most (if not all) pages (that have been coded correctly) fine. It understands coding standards, not completely, but alot better than IE and probably slightly better than Opera's engine. Renders pages quite slowly though.

KHTML: Renders pages fookin' fast...but 9 times out of 10 it doesn't render the page properly :p It needs a lot more work done to it.

The only browser I've used that uses the KHTML engine is Konqueror, I don't know if Safari is any different for whatever reason.

WebCore has so many advancements from KHTML. :p Safari renders pages correctly 9.5 times out of 10. Usually, the site that doesn't render correctly is very poorly coded.

[MulletRobZ]

Well I've already voted Mozilla (Gecko) in this poll months ago, but now that I've used Safari and Firerfox on Mac OS X 10.4, I'm kind of split between KHTML/WebCore (Safari's engine) and Gecko as some things Safari can do properly that Firefox can't and vice-versa.

[Popky]

I voted Opera, but the wife says IE via Avant (will we ever agree about anything)

[Wrezal]

Fire fox is better than IE anyday, even though I still get ads with firefox! Well even adblocker did help, but it messed up flash support so I got rid of it.

[hcs4302]

Have always liked the gecko engine since netscape 3.0. I am now using Flock a definitive of Mozilla.Flock

[P.M.K]

IE for me.

[worbd]

God...

hcsprakers, Flock is not a browser engine. Flock uses the browser engine called Gecko, which is the same engine that Firefox uses.

[Daylene]

I have 2 favorites.

On Windows, I use Opera, and on Linux I like using Firefox (Opera on Linux has an ugly UI). (Y)

ie 6 or firefox
