View source for Presto (layout engine)

'''Presto''' was the layout engine of the [[Opera web browser]] for a decade.

== Description ==

It was released on 28 January 2003 in Opera 7, and later used to power the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile browsers.

As of Opera 15, the desktop browser uses a Chromium backend, replacing Presto with the [[Blink layout engine]].

Presto is a dynamic engine. Webpages can be re-rendered completely or partially in response to DOM events.

Its releases saw a number of bug fixes and optimizations to improve the speed of the ECMAScript (JavaScript) engine.

It is proprietary software only available as a part of the Opera browsers.
