Developed by Daniel Glazman - Windows - setup file bluegriffon-1.7.2.exe (22.97 MB) - Freeware Quick Review "WYSIWYG content editor for the World Wide Web" BlueGriffon is a WYSIWYG content editor for the internet. It is powered by the Gecko engine which is the same as used in the Firefox web browser. As a result anything that is created inside the BlueGriffon editor will display identically within the Firefox browser as well. Intuitive interface that will suit web developers and programmers well. Source view is also available to hand code pages when wishing to get away from the what you see is what you get view of things. Multiple languages are supported out of the box.BlueGriffon Key Features:WYSIWYG editor for WindowsUseful for programmers and developersMultiple languages supportsHand coding source code viewerUse Gecko engine under the hood so pages are visually compatible with FirefoxOne of the better editors for programmersRequires WindowsBlueGriffon is a WYSIWYG editor which lets you hand code as well if you want to.

Large and very talented (i.e. expensive) engineering team to the project. The same could be done again but you're looking at companies like Microsoft, not startups. The resources needed to maintain a Gecko-based or Blink-based browser will depend on the amount of customisation. Vivaldi/Opera/Brave are doing fine, but they make relatively shallow changes over Chromium.I just discovered Goanna on Wikipedia, a fork of the Gecko engine, presumably with relatively thin resources. Don't know how well it compares to mainstream engines though. [0]I suppose the short version is that the workload is a function of the goals.[0] That’s the point: if you’re not customizing Blink, you’re not changing the huge influence which Google has over de facto web standards. If you want to make more than simple customizations you need a significant commitment just to keep pace with the upstream – Microsoft can afford that, Samsung can, etc. but it’s not clear that Brave or Opera can. Mozilla is rebuilding much of an engine with Servo and related (e.g. the CSS bits that are now actually integrated into FF) projects. I can really see them replacing more and more of FF with Rust in the future, because Mozilla really seem to be doubling down on trust, in all forms. For example, they recently announced that the UI is web component based - which means that using Servo for the window chrome is in the realm of possibility.Edit: at that point I wouldn't really consider it "FF of yore." A rewrite is really a new product. Firefox has been using Gecko for chrome since before it was even called Firefox. It's pretty much the reason why the Google browser has the name that it does. Anyone contributing to Firefox leading up to the birth of Chrome, including major contributors on Google payroll, dealt with chrome:// documents (or bindings, or scripts, or...) on a daily basis. Your response to my comment isn't only orthogonal, it isn't even in the same realm of what I was talking about. I was referring to "the window chrome." I never once mentioned "Chrome."The comment you called out is directly related to what I was talking about, it is not orthogonal. You can't rewrite history. SahAssar's comment moved the goalposts away from being about the browser engine and towards whether XUL was standardized. Whereas your comment is undeniably about using the browser engine to handle the Firefox UI—which

Sleipnir is a web browser from Japan based Fenrir & Co a software company from Osaka. Recently an English version was released after being only available in Japanese for many years. Sleipnir currently has about 100,000 users but intends to capture a bigger slice of the worldwide web browsing market from Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.Sleipnir Web Browser LogoI downloaded Sleipnir and took it for a spin around the internet block and while it has no revolutionary features it combines quite a few features from other browsers mainly the thumbnail view from Opera, but one of the best features I have found is the ability to switch between Trident and Gecko layout engines. Trident is used by Internet Explorer and Gecko is used by Firefox. While this functionality is regularly used by me in Firefox via a plugin it would good to have that feature built in to Sleipnir and I am thinking about replacing Avant as my backup browser with…you guessed it…Sleipnir.Jamaipanese.com being displayed with Sleipnir (Gecko engine)Who or what is Sleipnir?Sleipnir is from Norse mythology and is the name of Odin’s magical mount and the greatest of all horses. Sorry Mozilla but if there was ever a one on one battle your fox is no match for this Scandinavian badass.Sleipnir English HompageJapanese browser maker takes on IE, Firefox[japan] Post navigation

There are more features to Sleipnir than I could ever use. Because pretty much all public PC's use the IE engine this is a safer way to surf the net. It doesn't beat Firefox as security goes I guess, but I like the feel and the look of Sleipnir. freakazoid Posts: 1241 Joined: Wed Jul 18, 2007 5:45 pm #4 Post by freakazoid » Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:15 pm Update Available here (v2.83): ... /#portable (4.82 MB)Better description:Sleipnir is designed to be a highly customizable browser that you can configure to suit your individual needs.With Sleipnir, you can create your ideal browser by changing the design, skin, and visual appearance.

IE11 - Microsoft really did a numnber on it. Browsers use "User-Agent Strings" for websites to identify the browser and its engine and the websites provide the proper content based on the ID from the Strings. The "geniuses" (sarcasm intended) in redmond, WA decided it'd be a really good idea to change IE11's User-Agent Strings to make websites think it was something else. Some sites ID it as a Gecko browser (Firefox), and some as a Webkit browser (Chrome or Safari). Now, here's where the real genius shows through. With out a Gecko or Webkit browser engine (IE has a Trident engine)... The content won't play properly if it even plays at all. And most of the time it doesn't at all. What happens is IE becomes an "unidentified" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. In fact, since they came up with this idiocy, I seriously doubt they'll even acknowledge what a major problem it is.Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.Firefox (from Mozilla)Opera (from Opera)Safari (from Apple)Chrome (from Google)ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
