Update: The Next Web has confirmed that Opera, which recently ditched its Presto engine for Webkit, will indeed be using Blink as it's already hitching its proverbial wagon to Chromium. Chromium has some new features, some of them are not appropriate to put in Webkit, since other browsers may not take them.

Webkit vs blink code#
We're safely distant from the Bad Old Days of wildly incompatible web engines, but the shift may prove a mixed blessing - it could lead to more advancements on the web, but it also gives developers that much more code to support. We'd also expect it to spread, as the company has confirmed to us that both Chrome and Chrome OS will be using Blink in the future. Although the new engine will be much the same as WebKit at the start, it's expected to differ over time as Google strips out unnecessary code and tweaks the underlying platform. Google believes that Chromium's multi-process approach has added too much complexity for both the browser and WebKit itself, so it's creating a separate, simpler fork named Blink.
Webkit vs blink how to#
This tutorial explains how to switch IE rendering engine to Blink and WebKit rendering engines with simple changes in the existing application. Apple continues to offer Safari with Webkit, of which Chromium forked into Blink back in 2012. Refer to this feature matrix table for more details. However there are always older versions of the browser you need to write and support CSS code for, so in practice it will take a lot of time before you can drop the prefix.You could call WebKit the glue that binds the modern web: the rendering engine powers Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome, and many mobile browsers past and present. The Blink and WebKit rendering engines are advanced and support more features when compared to the IE rendering engine. In theory after the inconsistencies are resolved the prefix will be removed. Using prefixes allows properties to be set to each rendering engine so you can tweak your css to adjust for the different implementations. Usually they're used to implement CSS features that are proprietary or the browser companies are still fighting over on the way it is supposed to be implemented, until finalisation by W3.

These are the vendor-prefixed properties used by different rendering engines of browsers(gecko,blink,webkit,trident etc) -webkit for Chrome(blink,webkit), Safari(webkit) and Opera(blink) webkit for Chrome(blink,webkit), Safari(webkit) and Opera(blink) -moz for Firefox(gecko), -o for Opera(presto), -ms for Internet Explorer(Trident). Here in this code -webkit-animation, -moz-animation and at last the simple animation is used why these three are being used with same functionalities? moz-animation-iteration-count: infinite

What is the difference in between the two or these, or are the same? Talk about WebKit and Blink given LinuxCon Japan 2014 in Tokyo. I do not understand the difference between -webkit-animation and -moz-animation.
