This article introduces the relevant knowledge of "which types of browser kernels are divided into". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

The most important or core part of the browser is "RenderingEngine", which can be roughly translated as "rendering engine", but we are used to calling it the "browser kernel". Responsible for the interpretation of web page syntax (such as an application of HTML, JavaScript under the standard general markup language) and rendering (displaying) the web page. Therefore, the so-called browser kernel is the rendering engine used by the browser, which determines how the browser displays the content of the web page and the format information of the page. Different browser kernels have different interpretations of web page writing syntax, so the rendering (display) effect of the same web page may be different in different kernel browsers, which is why web page writers need to test web page display in browsers with different kernels.

Browser kernel classification

Trident

Speaking of Trident, most people will feel strange, but the mention of IE browser is basically a household name. Because this kernel is included in the most used operating system in the world, that is, the Windows operating system, we often call it the IE kernel. Browsers with Trident kernel are: IE, Aoyou, window of the World browser, Avant, Tencent TT, Sleipnir, GOSURF, GreenBrowser and KKman.

Trident (also called MSHTML) is a typesetting engine developed by Microsoft. IE4 appeared together when it was born in 1997, and has been constantly updated and perfected since then. It is actually an open kernel, and because its engine is designed as a software module, other software developers can add web browsing to the applications they develop. The Trident kernel interface is very mature, so there are many products that use the IE kernel. However, the IE kernel cannot be used on operating systems other than the windows operating system, so it cannot be used across platforms.

The kernel program was first adopted in IE4 in 1997, was modified by Microsoft based on Mosaic code, and continued to use IE11, also commonly known as the "IE kernel". Trident is actually an open kernel, and its interface kernel design is quite mature, so there are many browsers (shell browsers) that use IE kernel instead of IE.

Browser kernel typesetting engine

WebCore

WebCore is a typesetting engine developed by Apple, which is based on another typesetting engine, "KHTML". The main users of WebCore are Safari, in addition to OmniWeb, Shiira, Swift and so on. Safari now supports Windows, but the effect is not as good as that on macOS.
