The organization exists because it has Gecko, XUL and a range of related technologies.
Mozilla is not a commercial operation there are no stakeholders or profit targets.I’m sure it would be technically possible to implement an API translation bridge, but how long would that take and what commercial benefit would it offer?
#WEBKIT BROWSERS WINDOWS#
They have nothing to gain from switching to WebKit: However, those restrictions do not apply to Microsoft and Mozilla. Their primary market is mobile devices and Apple control the only HTML engine permitted on the iPhone and iPad. I’m saddened to see the demise of Presto but Opera made a logical business decision. They have strengths, they have weaknesses, but none is an outright winner in all areas. WebKit, Gecko, Presto and Trident are all good rendering engines. It’s starting to feel like oldIE all over again, but with a different set of excuses for why nothing can be fixed. But several of those WebKit hacks still remain. When we started our jQuery 2.0 cleanup to remove IE 6/7/8 hacks, we were optimistic that we would also be able to remove some bloat from lingering patches needed for really old browsers like Safari 2. In general these are not recent regressions, but long-standing problems that have yet to be addressed. jQuery Core has more lines of fixes and patches for WebKit than any other browser. Don’t take my word for it - Dave Methvin of the jQuery core team and president of the jQuery Foundation states:Įach release of Chrome or Safari generates excitement about new bleeding-edge features nobody seems to worry about the stuff that’s already (still!) broken. Try persuading Firebug fans to abandon their favorite development tool. Use an unprefixed transform, animation or calc() function. But if you think it’s ahead of all others, try using SVGs.
WebKit is excellent and it was certainly the first to hit the CSS3 animation headlines. No engine is perfect, but you learn to forgive or avoid issues when you concentrate on a single browser. Those who support the monoculture argue that WebKit has won it’s beaten Gecko and Trident.
