Definitive Best Browser Engine

[Sheol]

I like a lot Opera, but I also know that Firefox is great, too.

Maybe I'll use Firefox later :D

Well, your question seems badly formed and bait for FireFox fanboys.

However, even though I don't use FireFox, my vote goes to its engine, since that is specifically what you are asking; it is my experience that it is more compatible, and that it works better with things like Flash (try loading YouTube videos fullscreen in Opera.)

True, but those that mention Opera and IE as 'engines' are just as guilty as well.

The poll should've read:

Trident (IE)

Presto (Opera)

Gecko (Mozilla)

KHTML

+1

@Mods: Please... update this poll. :p

We need a re-poll on this subject.

That issue has been fixed in Opera 9.20.

Personally, I like Presto (the Opera engine) - its fast and very secure.

yep, it seems that quite a few people didn't realise/understand that this was about rendering engines and not the browser itself.

[eva]

On OS X, I find stock installations of Opera 9 to be faster than stock installations of Firefox 2.

If I am stuck with these choices, Gecko, duh...

But WebKit is better I think. I have no idea how it performs on Windows, but on OS X it's fast and displays everything properly.

[BlueFlame]

I think it's Gecko (mozilla).

[X_Naruto]

Firefox!

[Dzontra_Volta]

use Opera if you want a browser bloated with buttons, adds and other anoying things but faster browsing :yes:

WTF? how do you mean bloated with adds and anoying things? i really dont get you. you really must hate opera for some reason to say something like that.

I quess if you want complete control for browsing you should use firefox, but opera is far best for easy and simple surfing. And nothing is bloated. firefox is bloated..

[TheDreamX]

Gecko may be the best engine, but I prefer speed when browsing. Therefore, it's Safari for Mac and IE 7 for Windows. I've used Firefox and Opera on both platforms and the "built-in" browsers almost always perform better. Plus, they look the nicest stock :D

That was a hella long time ago. 3 years ago..when Opera wasnt free.

[Simba49]

Ie7 ftw ;)!

[Pretend]

Mozilla Firefox!

nice

[Crazysah]

We need a new poll.

[Bugballou]

Firefox, Opera, K-Meleon, The World, SeaMonkey, Konqueror, and Internet Explorer 6, each for different reasons. I guess Firefox is the best all around browser, Gecko the best layout engine. A quick rundown of most can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers.

The World Browser is out of Asia, the last version I've used is 2.0. Oh, I almost forgot IceWeasle.

[iwod]

I think we need a new Poll. Webkit not inside the list ><

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Speaking of a new poll, if we do include WebKit, do we also include KHTML? Do we include it as a separate item or something like "WebKit/KHTML"?

[coolzee]

Firefox FTW! :p

I just realize i didn't vote..lol

[Raa]

Maxthon. Hands down best browser out there. (Y)

[roadgeek9]

Mozilla (Gecko) engine. Their engine has been what I've been using for a while now, and I am just used to it.
