Learn about the working principles of browser engines, including the differences between different rendering engines such as Trident, Gecko, Presto, Webkit, and Blink.

Introduction

The core part of the browser is the rendering engine Rendering Engine, which is also known as the browser engine. It is responsible for interpreting the syntax of web pages. Due to historical reasons, different browsers may use different engines, resulting in differences in the content rendered in different browsers.
