The largest mobile (web) platform is ... WebKit
- From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit
- As of November 2012 it has the most market share of any layout engine at over 40% of the browser market share—ahead of both the Trident engine used by Internet Explorer, and the Gecko engine used by Firefox.
- It is also used as the basis for the experimental browser included with the Amazon Kindle e-book reader, as well as the default browser in the Apple iOS, Android, BlackBerry 10, and Tizen mobile operating systems. WebKit's C++ API provides a set of classes to display web content in windows, and implements browser features such as following links when clicked by the user, managing a back-forward list, and managing a history of pages recently visited.
So more and more platforms will develop their browsers based on WebKit, it a trend.
- WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code originally began as a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE,[6] and has now been further developed by individuals from KDE, Apple, Nokia, Google, Bitstream, RIM, Igalia, and others. OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, and some other Unix-like operating systems are supported by the project.
- As of the first half of 2010: WebKit-based browser, 350 million.
- As of February 2012, WebKit's market share at 36%.
- Total use of WebKit (Chrome, Safari, and smartphones/tablets) will surpass 50% by the end of 2012.
Which mobile platform do you target on developing mobile apps? I select WebKit!

Use your browser as TEXT Editor
If you suddenly want to write something without text editor on your device, try to use WebKit-based browsers: Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
In the URL line, input:
- "data:text/html, <html contenteditable>", then you can edit texts on the page presentation area.
However, the above command make the text area as HTML default, that is copying html strings will be pasted as HTML format. If you want a "pure text" (plain text) editor, use the command.
- data:text/html, <textarea></textarea>
The input area is too small! Don't forget write CSS style as you are a good web programmer.
- data:text/html, <textarea style='height:90%;width:90%;margin:auto'></textarea>
Now, enjoy your "Programmer-Style" text editor.
I am glad to be a programmer!
