  • Firefox and other Mozilla browsers (IceWeasel, etc) use Gecko.
  • Internet Explorer uses Trident.
  • Safari, Google Chrome and Konqueror use Webkit, although on 04/03/2013 Google announced that Chrome will use its own fork from Webkit named Blink
  • Opera 9+ uses Presto, although it has announced (4/2013) that is will move over to using Blink.
