Browser Comparison – Acid 3 Test
So, as requested, I decided to compare the beta's of all the latest browsers using the Acid 3 test with somewhat surprising results...Below you will find screenshots of the results from IE8 Beta 1, Firefox 3 Beta 4, & Opera 9.5 Beta.
Internet Explorer 8 Test Result:
Firefox 3 Test Result:
Opera 9.5 Test Result:
As you can see - IE8 fails miserably! It initially only gets 10/100, but after a few seconds it increases to 17/100, which I find odd. Though admittedly IE8 is intended for developers to begin getting their pages compatible with IE8. Opera 9.5 also fails the test, though with a more respectable 60/100, which increased from somewhere around 47 after about a second or so.
Finally, Firefox 3, which scores 67/100 is the only browser I tested which doesn't have the word "fail" on the end result, though I don't think that counts as a pass because it didn't score 100.
For what it's worth, the end result should look like this reference rendering (as provided by acidtests.org).

I think it’s interesting how each browser score is the same no matter what OS it is installed on, unless I’m mistaken. Were all of yours on Vista?
March 15th, 2008 - 14:24
Yes all tests were on Vista

Today I tried with Safari 3.1: it gains a result of 75/100!
March 26th, 2008 - 23:06
Apparently later builds of Opera get 100%, later builds of Safari get 98% and Firefox 3.0b4 get 75%
Not able to test that claim though, as I don’t have these builds (Firefox the exception)

Opera 9.5b2 now gives 78/100.

IE is such a faggit-ass browser. I wish it didn’t exist and I hate people who support it. Especially the developers, they are pretty reckless to dare to have a blog. When I read shit like “our mission” and “Trustworthy Computing” I can almost laugh. I’m not even sure if they realize in what kind of dreamworld they’re in!
