browser kernel

There are many names for the browser kernel, rendering Engine, typesetting engine, interpretation engine, English Rendering Engine

is used to render web page content and convert your web page code into visible pages
In the early kernel, the js engine was also included, but now js engines are becoming more and more popular. Independent, you can put it forward separately
The core and changes of mainstream browsers are as follows
(The focus of the interview questions, many written online are outdated now, so I summarized it)

Mainstream Browser Kernel ##IE -> Edge Chrome ##Safari webkit Firefox Gecko Opera Presto->blink Edge was launched by Microsoft with win10 (Microsoft dislikes IE)

trident-> ;EdgeHTML
webkit->blink

Browser js engine

I didn't expect that IE, the winner of the first browser war, would end up in such a miserable situation
In the end, it was ruthlessly abandoned by Microsoft, ending in tragedy
If you don't want it, you don't want 22w lines of code

I think Microsoft is also struggling with this After a long time, I finally made a difficult decision

Decided to develop the Edge engine from scratch

The former IE used the monopoly of Windows to formulate its own independent "IE standard"
The past five years of IE There were no updates, and by the time it realized the problem, it was too late
The subsequent launch of IE7 and IE8 (the source of evil in writing compatibility) made it even more questionable and criticized

Having said this Actually, I just want to say that chrome is really great (~￣▽￣)~
Just kidding
I also hope everyone will remember the lessons of IE

Finally, let me give you an old saying...(Although It has nothing to do with the title)

Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.
