The following tables compare SVG compatibility and support for a number of layout engines. Please see the individual products' articles for further information. Unless otherwise specified in footnotes, comparisons are based on the stable versions without any add-ons, extensions or external programs.

Explanation of the tables

Engine nomenclature

Rather than the names of web browsers, the names of the underlying engines are used. The browsers that use the various engines are listed below.

Layout engine	Release version	Preview version	Used by
Amaya	11.4.7^[1]	N/A	No longer developed; Amaya
Blink	537.36	source code^{[note 1]}	Chromium/Chrome (28+), Opera (15+), Yandex, Liebao and Samsung Browser^{[citation needed]}.

Also used by the Maple platform in 2010 and 2011 Samsung "SmartTV" devices which are based on the build used in Firefox 3.0.^{[citation needed]} Nokia Asha platform is also using Gecko for web apps rendering.
KHTML	4.12.3^[9]	N/A	Konqueror^{[note 2]}
Presto	2.12.388	N/A	No longer developed; Opera and Opera Mobile use Blink now; Nintendo DS & DSi Browser; Internet Channel

Adobe SVG Viewer, Batik, eSVG and Renesis are SVG-Plugins.

Values

Values indicate the level of support in the most recent version of the layout engine, or (if a version number is given) in the specified version. Version numbers without any other value indicate the version at which the layout engine first fully supported the feature.

Value	Meaning
Yes	Indicates that the layout engine fully supports this property/element when valid values are used.
No	Indicates that the property/element is completely ignored.
Partial	Indicates that the property/element is understood, but that not all values are supported. Supported values are implemented correctly.
Incorrect	Indicates that the property/element is understood, but that it is not implemented correctly in all cases.
Experimental	Indicates that the property/element is understood, but supported under an alternate name. May be incomplete or buggy.
Dropped	Indicates that the property/element is no longer supported.
Nightly build	Indicates that the property/element is supported to some extent in an experimental/nightly build. Future support is expected.
Depends	Indicates that the property/element is supported only on certain platforms, or if certain settings are configured.
