N...no...he's not talking about search engines, he's talking about BROWSING ENGINES. All Browsers out there use an engine to display the page. IE has one, Firefox has one, Opera has one. It's not the browser itself, it's the underlying code that renders the page. Firefox's engine, gecko, is used in a lot of other browsers (Kmelion for example) so it'll render most pages in a similar way to firefox, regardless of the addons, search bars, etc. pinned onto it.

IE8 will have 3 different engines built into it.

It's the engine that really decides how standards complient and such that it is. That's why IE shouldn't really be in the poll, because IE isn't an engine, but Trident (The engine that IE and thus programs like maxathon uses) is.

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

I am currently using the Safari beta for windows and I love it... the only thing that is more annoying than a problem is trying to view video clips ... Safari downloads them instead of opening in WMP... but what is this "WebKit" ??

Opera is great, its light and doesnt use much resources. However for some reason i cant stand the GUI, so im using Firefox, plus that there are some really good extensions out there. So for best GUI, Firefox. But i admit the engine opera runs on is great :)

Briefly switched to Firefox but I just didn't see what all the hoohaa was about.

IE7 is the best browser engine, it loads all the pages I want - correctly!

How can you stand the click click click everytime you click on a link. I have a mouse that clicks, I don't need it simulated on my speakers! Grrr.

      I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
