Definitive Best Browser Engine

[TheWahbinator]

As far as IE, you're right.  I'm assuming the person simply didn't know the code-name for the IE engine though.

Well...

IE for Windows = Trident

IE for Macintosh Carbon = Tasman

Someone edit the poll ;)

[Angel Blue01]

I can't be;eive so few people voted KHTML

[worbd]

KHTML isn't very good. WebCore (Safari) is quite good, though.

agreed :woot:

Firefox is not a browser engine.

[Crazysah]

Best is Opera or IE. I am still deciding on which to use lol!

[mircleman]

mine :D

[Help]

Opera is the only browser to use it's engine, so it's fair to simply say Opera.

Presto = Opera 7 and above

Elektra = Opera 6 and lower

[Serb-Man]

I never had any problems with IE, but I tried firefox too. I don't see any difference between those two, that's why I have them both installed.

Presto = Opera 7 and above

Elektra = Opera 6 and lower

Elektra is also way outdated and irrelevant to the discussion.

Anybody that thinks the gecko engine is the best is nuts. That crash & burn POS!! I'd rather use the IE engine, but I won't because I DO use the best engine and that is Opera's. :p

[stereopixels]

I think Opera

Are you insane? The Gecko engine is the second best engine out there next to WebCore (in terms of standards compliancy). In speed, it's third behind WebCore and Presto (Opera).

[llbbl]

Gecko!

Gecko is generally considered to be the second most-popular layout engine on the Web, after Trident (used by Internet Explorer for Windows), but before KHTML (used by Konqueror), WebCore (used by Safari), Presto (used by Opera) and Tasman (used by Internet Explorer for Mac).

Some moderator should change the poll to reflect the true names of the browser engines instead of adding the browsers that are a result of said engine, otherwise by not listing FF you are discriminating against what I think to be the best browser out there!

Because it is not clear. They are listing the names of the other browsers on the engines, but do not have FF listed. The poll should be more accurate and list the names of the engines followed by the browser(s) for that engine in parathesis.

But a LOT of clients use gecko.

[devyant]

Opera browser, its the fastest imho. :)

[soldier1st]

gecko

the ie engine is terrible.it's also full of bugs and problems.

[McoreD]

Going back to History....

Have I got this right?

IE was based on Mosaic. So did Netscape. But then Mark rewrote the rendering engine because he didn't have access to the Mosaic code as he left the university. Gecko engine is what he ended up rewritting?

Thanks.

Gecko is great! :rofl:
