Browser engine

Già postato da Andrea Zorzin nel blog pubblico:

IETester is a free WebBrowser that allows you to have the rendering and javascript engines of IE8 RC1, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 on Vista and XP, as well as the installed IE in the same process.

There are three main rendering engines:

• Trident, from Internet Explorer, is used by many applications on the Microsoft Windows platform to render HTML, including the minibrowsers in Winamp and RealPlayer.
• Gecko, Mozilla's open-source rendering engine, is used by a variety of products derived from the Mozilla code base, including the Firefox Web browser.
• WebKit, originally from Konquerer, and currently best-known as powering Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome Web browsers.

Lunascape, (currently Windows-only) is a triple-engine browser that has a new take on the "browser wars."...

While the Trident, Gecko, and WebKit engines each have their benefits, the inclusion of a three-in-one browser is a novel idea (Lunascape started using multiple engines in 2004) that solves a whole host of compatibility issues for the ordinary user. Gecko is fast, but you shouldn't have to download a new browser in order to visit sites that are compatible only with IE's Trident.

In the end, Lunascape users win, as they can switch engines with ease, depending on the unique circumstances of the browsing experience in real time...
