What engines do browsers use?

There are three main engines to consider: WebKit (powering Safari), Quantum (powering Firefox), and Blink (powering Chrome, Opera, Brave, and others).

What kind of engine does Chrome use?

Part of Chrome's speed improvement over existing browsers is its use of a new JavaScript engine (V8). Chrome uses code from Apple Inc.'s WebKit, the open-source rendering engine used in Apple's Safari Web browser.

Do Firefox and Chrome use the same engine?

Firefox is not based on Chromium (the open source browser project at the core of Google Chrome). In fact, we're one of the last major browsers that isn't. Firefox runs on our Quantum browser engine built specifically for Firefox, so we can ensure your data is handled respectfully and kept private.

  • Firefox and other Mozilla browsers (IceWeasel, etc) use Gecko.
  • Internet Explorer uses Trident.
  • Safari, Google Chrome and Konqueror use Webkit, although on 04/03/2013 Google announced that Chrome will use its own fork from Webkit named Blink
  • Opera 9+ uses Presto, although it has announced (4/2013) that is will move over to using Blink.
