browser kernel
1. Trident
The kernel of IE is one of the kernels of domestic dual-core browsers. This kernel can only be used on the Windows platform and is not open source. The Trident kernel has been extended to IE11, and Edge, the successor of IE11, has adopted the new kernel EdgeHTML.
At present, as Microsoft abandons the IE browser, except for the old version of IE, those using this kernel are some domestic dual-core browsers.
2.Gecko
The open source kernel was later adopted by FF (FireFox). The biggest advantage is cross-platform, and it is used in major operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, and MacOs X.
At present, it is mainly used by FireFox (Firefox browser),
3.Webkit
The open source kernel, the originator of Webkeit is Safari, and the former Chrome used Webkeit. Note: Webkit actually includes the rendering engine Webcore (formerly KHTML), and the JS engine JSCore
Safari browser kernel: Webkit kernel；KHTML->Webkit(WebCore+JSCore)->Webkit2
4.Chromium

In February 2013, in order to reduce R&D costs, Opera abandoned Presto and announced to join the Google camp, adopting Chromium, and followed in the footsteps of Blink.
Has been abandoned at present, join the Google camp
