A:
- Firefox and other Mozilla browsers (IceWeasel, etc) use Gecko.
- Internet Explorer uses Trident.
- Safari, Google Chrome and Konqueror use Webkit.
- Opera 9+ uses Presto.

Has konqueror actually switched to webkit, last I checked it was still KHTML (which of course webkit was a fork of).

Good question, I'm not sure. For general programming that doesn't deal with engine specifics, I find that considering it to be a Webkit engine works fine.

Well, there are differences but the KHTML and Webkit devs often submit to each others code repositories.

Especially now KHTML has native builds cross platform too now (since QT went opensource on windows).
