The news that Opera is shutting down the development of its own browser rendering engine and moving to the open source WebKit enginecause quite a stir earlier this week. With WebKit powering the built-in browsers of Google's Android and Apple's iOS, it's already the de-facto standard engine for the mobile and it has the potential to do the same on the desktop. Worldwide, Chrome now holds a considerable lead over Microsoft's Trident-powered Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Gecko engine for Firefox already. The question is: are we better off because we have competing engines trying to outdo each other, or would we be better off if all the browser vendors just standardized on WebKit?
