The original Edge had a few different rendering modes that, as we all know, are quite different from current browsers. There were also many options for rendering on screen, but most users did not experience any problems with the latter, and only the basic rendering mode.

But a few years ago Microsoft finally decided to make use of Chrome's WebKit rendering engine. The first version of Chrome was built for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, which was designed primarily to support the WebKit standard, but has also been used for the Chrome browser in several different versions since then. That version also supports a lot of other rendering modes, including a "real-time" rendering mode that uses the V8 JavaScript engine. The "real-time" mode uses the engine's runtime, but is based on Chromium's open source JavaScript engine, and has been tested extensively in the past.

There's a lot of work to be done with what's known as "Chroma's rendering engine," and it's important to note that it's not quite ready to use the engine's current rendering mode yet, but it's in active development, and Chrome will be the first to come out with a rendering mode that will work with it.

The first-generation of Chrome was already pretty buggy, and with the introduction of Chrome 10, the company seems ready to take its time with these changes, because it feels it's better to do a good job while still giving the browser a bit more flexibility.

With Chrome's WebKit rendering engine, Microsoft will be working in a much more open environment, with its WebKit-based rendering engine. At first, it's important to make sure that Edge does not run into any issues related to that, because the browser is designed to run on a large scale. But, as we've seen in previous versions of Chrome, we have to be vigilant in that regard, because the "real-time" rendering mode will not run in a way that's optimized for the current situation.

The new Chrome rendering engine will be based on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is based in the Mozilla Foundation. The goal is to bring "real-time" on screen rendering to Chrome, and it's already being tested in several different versions of Chrome. The original version of Chrome had a few different rendering modes that, as we all know, are quite different from current browsers. There were also many options for rendering on screen, but most users did not experience any problems with the latter, and only the basic rendering mode.
