How well do you do? Thinking.gif

With Safari 3.1, my score is 75/100
With FF 2.0.0.12, my score is 52/100

Same here with Safari. Webkit (nightly build) interestingly enough got a score of 93/100 - it just failed to turn the red square red. Everything else was perfect.

Firefox 3.0b4 (which is very nice, BTW) got a 68/100 - wasn't able to render any of the colored rectangles properly - they're all gray.

Omniweb failed, with 40/100.

Opera failed spectacularly with a score of 2/100.

The latest build of Shiira 2.2 got a 74/100, looking very much like the Safari result, which isn't too surprising since it's another Web Kit browser.

s of this moment, there is no browser that passes with 100%. This is normal with the acid tests, which typically make use of rendering technologies that no browser maker gets right. (It's pretty sad, too. The acid3 test uses nothing but standards developed in 2002 or earlier, which means that five years after the standards were released, not one single browser maker uses them correctly. That's lame, if you ask me!)

Internet Explorer 7 does dismally, with 12 out of 100 tests passed (and the rendering is screwed up beyond belief). Safari 3.1 is arguably the single most standards-compliant browser out there right now.

What's really lame is that Explorer does not even pass acid2, and does an incredibly dismal job of trying to render it. Acid2 came out in 2005, Internet Explorer 7 came out in 2006, and Internet Explorer does not pass acid2. It even fails acid1, which came out in 1998; it gets everything right in acid1 except that it underlines the hyperlinks, which it is not supposed to do.

I tried it out on multiple browsers as well

Safari 3.1 - 75/100
FF 2.0.0.12 - 53/100
FF Beta 3.0b4 - 68/100
Opera 9.50 - 61

I agree with Paddy Firefox 3 looks rather nice. Unfortunately it breaks Browsersync, which for me means it's a no-no for now sad.gif

Webkit nightly -  89/100

krissel,

I see you may use BonEcho. I found it to not worth it in terms of a speedier version of FireFox. I finally turned to FireFox 2.0.12 and that seems to be the most powerful for me.

Yeah, I'm becoming disenchanted with it lately. It was pretty zippy under Panther but seems to be falling behind with all the improvements to the other browsers.
