can you please stop saying firefox, 1. it's not the engine, 2. you only had to say it once.

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

KHTML is good, WebCore and KHTML are basically the same, just forked, both pass Acid2, and that's pretty good (only other browser to pass is iCab)

KHTML passed partly because of the revisions made in WebKit. WebKit still has plenty of features KHTML doesn't have (some of which are being proposed for a de-facto HTML 5 spec).

Hmmm

i see 62% goes to FF ....WY???

i think oprera v8.01 rules

Just a matter of user preference. Although I would assume a good percent of that 62% is not because they find the engine better for their needs, it's only because of rampant fanboyism.

BTW to save you some face, some of your claims in your post are unrealistic. One, I haven't heard of 1.05 released yet (or it's a beta, I dunno). Two, your other two claims seem to come from using Internet Explorer. :whistle:

Actually tabs are hidden by default and resume isnt supported in FF

Though I'm not sure what that has to do with rendering engines...

1. uhhh Firefox does have tabs

2. I know, this is an infuriating "bug". Go vote for it @ bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229230

can you please stop saying firefox, 1. it's not the engine, 2. you only had to say it once.

Well maybe whoever started the thread should have put the correct browser engines in your choices to vote them people wouldn't be confused.

It's not too late to edit it if there was a moderator paying attention.

I think already I pointed this out several pages ago.

I still like IE.

mostly because i "grew up" with it...but my router firewall and Norton Internet Security, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware protect me from all the nastiness. as for tabs...I used firefox for some time and i found them irritating for some reason.....ehh. i use alt+tab to switch windows...or sometimes i just *gasp* move the mouse up to the taskbar and select the other window....

That's what happens when I don't use Firefox on a regular basis for like two to three weeks. :D

IE - it views every web page I go to without errors or messed up layout.

586125052[/snapback]

Go to my web page. Messed up layout in IE, right? In Firefox, it's fine. In Safari, it's fine. In Opera, it's fine. My site has valid CSS and near-valid XHTML (besides a custom input style I use that's not in the XHTML spec). Sounds like IE isn't perfect anymore, huh? :p

OK, your site is in the small handful of sites that screw up in IE. It might look better if only IE supported PNG transparency. :pinch:

(OT: your site looks nice. besides that, it's one of the few where the scrolling feels smoother in Firefox versus Opera.)

that's because sites are developed with IE in mind. it shouldn't be like that because IE doesn't conform to standards properly.

web pages that are coded properly, following standards, will look like they're supposed to in firefox. if it doesn't, then it's crappy coding.

hehe nice. Everyones missing the point. MYIE2 is good and the new Maxathon is better. Exactly like IE except tabbed browsing, loads faster, more options, set game and match.

586197472[/snapback]

Wow. You accuse others of missing the point, then totally miss it yourself. That's a shame.

This thread is for best browser ENGINE. MYIE2 and Maxathon use IE's engine, therefore your favorite engine would be IE (Trident).

IE - it views every web page I go to without errors or messed up layout.

WRONG.

I vote Gecko. It renders valid code correctly in most cases. KHTML is a little bit more standards-compliant, but that leads to broken pages that aren't valid (many page aren't, yet). Opera's OK, but some sites break in it, I've read. And IE's just way off the standards.
