- BurningPenguin 4y agoChrome used an already existing render engine and improved on it.
- hayleox 4y agoMore specifically, Chrome used Safari's rendering engine, and Safari used Konqueror's rendering engine, because even in 2001, starting a browser engine from scratch seemed like too much work.
- danjoredd 4y agoIn the end, it all leads back to Konqueror. Pretty sad to see that piece of software go, considering its historical significance
- rob74 4y agoI would say that in 2001, starting a browser engine from scratch was more work than today, because (as other commenters have noted) since then the specifications have become more robust and the "tag soup" sites not following the specs have become fewer.
- aylmao 4y agoMoreover, tools are better too. Even if one is still using only vim on the terminal, plugins work better, screens are bigger, code compiles faster, and the internet has better resources for everything from programming and communicating with your team, to just finding music that helps you stay productive, for example.
- dolmen 4y agoThe Internet also has more social networks to keep you away from being productive.
- panic 4y agoToday's HTML spec defines precisely what will happen for any input—feed modern browsers all the tag soup you'd like!
