Browser Layout and JavaScript Engines
7 months ago
I frequently forget the names of the various browser layout and javascript engines. The following table acts as a quick reference.
Note, the JavaScript engine for Internet Explorer has various generic names (Microsoft JavaScript Engine, IE JavaScript Engine), but is more often referred to as IE JScript.
| Browser | Layout Engine | JavaScript Engine |
|---|---|---|
| Firefox | Gecko | TraceMonkey |
| Safari | WebKit | SquirrelMonkey |
| Chrome | WebKit | V8 |
| Internet Explorer | Trident | IE JScript |
| Opera | Presto | Futhark |
