I have dreamed about a swappable engine.
Like, a wrapper that does my history and tabs and book marks - but let's me move from rendering in Chrome or Gecko or Servo or whatever.
- sorenjan 2y agoThere used to be an extension for Firefox called "IE Tab for Firefox" that used the IE rendering engine inside a Firefox tab, for sites that only worked in IE.
- hyzyla 2y agoThe same idea with built in Internet Explorer in Microsoft Edge, where you can switch to Internet Explorer mode and open website that only correctly works in Internet Exlorer
- pauldino 2y agoAnd Google made basically the opposite thing to embed Chrome within Internet Explorer for sites that wouldn't work in IE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_Frame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_Frame
- joshuaissac 2y agoThere are some browsers that support multiple rendering engines out of the box, like Maxthon (Blink + Trident) and Lunascape (Blink + Gecko + Trident).
