Definitive Best Browser Engine

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Maxthon 3 will set new standards on what a browser should be able to do and look!

How? It's still IE and it's limited by all of IE's limitations.

Who mentioned IE? I didn't ;)

Can't reveal any details, but trust me that it will ROCK!

Ok, now I can reveal a little more since the developers has released some info...

This is why M3 will rock! :)

So, It's using Google's port of WebKit?

If that's the case then good, but I assume it still has a switch to use Trident.

They are building directly from the webkit source... Not using googles. They will be compiling new versions on a regular basis

Yes, IE will still be possible but webkit will be default. I assume it will be possible to switch engine and have Mx3 remember it to the next time you visit a page. (good for intranets and pages that simply don't work other than in Trident)

New webkit versions will be compiled from the source on a regluar basis acording to the developers.

I still don't understand the point of being excited whenever we see a browser gets 100/100 in ACID test

That was just an example to show what engine they were using... How about the fact that webkit is 70 times faster in javascript compared to IE7?

The WebKit nightlies support text-shadow though, which that screenshot doesn't show (Google's port had some problems with text-shadow so they disabled it, hence why I thought it was their version)
