I'm sure they will eventually. However I fear that just like with a lot of other Microsoft implementations the IE Webkit will be bloated, processor intensive, and generally a painful thing to use.
- jmtulloss 17y agoWhy do you think they will? When has MS ever done something like this?
- NathanKP 17y agoAll you have to do is compare page render times, JavaScript parsing and execution times, and other major metrics between IE and Firefox or IE and Safari and you will see that IE tends to be considerably less efficient that its competition. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens with a Microsoft Webkit implementation. Microsoft products are getting better in recent years, but I still wouldn't get my hopes up too high.
- halo 17y agoCompare render times between Netscape Communicator and IE and you will see that Netscape tends to be considerably less efficient than its competition. Doesn't mean a decent browser couldn't be salvaged from it, though.
