Built on the [[KParts]] framework and written in [[C++]], KHTML had relatively good [[KHTML#Standards compliance|support for Web standards]] during its prime. Engines forked from KHTML are used by most of the browsers that are widely used today, including [[WebKit]] ([[Safari (web browser)|Safari]]) and [[Blink (browser engine)|Blink]] ([[Google Chrome]], [[Chromium (web browser)|Chromium]], [[Microsoft Edge]], [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]], [[Vivaldi (web browser)|Vivaldi]] and [[Brave (web browser)|Brave]]).
