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" ??

lol... Webkit is the rendering engine that Safari uses.

I use IE7 in combination with IE7pro (http://ie7pro.com) and I am very happy with it!

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 :)

[wellofsouls]

Presto (Opera) > KHTML/WebKit > Trident (IE) > Gecko

The only good thing about Gecko is that it's open-source :sleep:

Firefox's XUL/JavaScript-based add-on abilities are indeed nice, but that's not the browser engine...

the new apple safari browser for windows is the best / fastest hands down in my opinion.

Used Opera and Safari, just to see if I was missing something.

As it turns out, I haven't missed out on anything with Firefox

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.

[way2quik]

I hope that was sarcasm 'cause that "click click" sound can be turned off.

No it can't. Not without turning it off on the entire windows system. I happen to like it when I use windows explorer, just not when I'm browsing the web.

That turns it off for the entire windows system, not just the browser.
