==Merging Articles==

I'd like to cast my vote for not merging this article with "List of Layout Engines". If you look at the separate article on "Comparison of Layout Engines (HTML5)", you can see it is a little more useful than this "Comparison of Layout Engines" article. It would be nice if this article itself expanded upon layout engine support of individual XHTML1 tags (and perhaps yet a separate article doing the same for HTML4). Combining all of this information into one article would make it very unwieldy and less user-friendly in my opinion.

While I find the discussion of moving articles truly fascinating (truly!), I'd like to ask why exactly it is that the Blink engine isn't listed [[Comparison_of_layout_engines_(Document_Object_Model)#General_overview|here]]. I would think that since Google has the best adaptation to HTML5, Blink would have an average or better performance in comparison to other engines. If I were to want to find this pile of data myself, would anyone have suggestions as to where and how to find it? Thanks. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TheLastWordSword|TheLastWordSword]] ([[User talk:TheLastWordSword|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheLastWordSword|contribs]]) 13:30, 9 June 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Is KHTML really "discontinued"? ==

The table on this page lists KHTML as "Discontinued", but [[KHTML]] states that it is still actively maintained, and it appears to still be the engine for Konqueror. What exactly does it mean to be discontinued here, and does that apply to KHTML?

:Yes, based on lack of releases in several years. That's a long time for a browser engine. -[[User:Pmffl|Pmffl]] ([[User talk:Pmffl|talk]]) 21:40, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Note: I've expanded the Status critera in the article and the template at the bottom of the page. It's now properly granular. -[[User:Pmffl|Pmffl]] ([[User talk:Pmffl|talk]]) 18:37, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

== Basilisk will be discontinued and Pale Moon Goanna version (UXP) heavily differs from K-Meleon Goanna version (Tycho) i.e K-Meleon uses an obsolete version of Goanna ==

The page must be updated regularly to reflect the changes of the few engines and browsers which remain in development.

== WebKit platform support ==

There is no browser for Windows that uses WebKit. But WebKit itself is available as nightly builds from Apple, so I guess it's fair to say that it is "supported". EDIT: Actually Windows has been removed from the Webkit Download section. On Github they now say you have to build it yourself. Not sure if that counts as "supported"?

However, I don't think there is any browser for Android that uses WebKit? The [[WebKit]] Wiki page also doesn't list Android as a supported platform. I'm sure it would be easily possible to port WebKit (it runs on Linux after all) but still - it's not really supported is it? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.17.94.33|86.17.94.33]] ([[User talk:86.17.94.33#top|talk]]) 16:02, 16 June 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
