- potifar, on 03/28/2008, -4/+52Yeah, sorry about that typo, the "almost" key on my keyboard is broken.
- falafelkiosken, on 03/28/2008, -3/+28Mozilla have stated they won't try to make FF3 pass ACID3, they have more important stuff to do
- Junyor, on 03/28/2008, -18/+43Oh, and the build DOES NOT PASS ACID3! Read the post you're linking to. Really.
- aznwild0, on 03/28/2008, -1/+24Opera is as real a browser as Firefox.It isn't a Netscape side project. It doesn't need plugins to have features, yet a standard install is a smaller download package and uses way less memory than a comparable Firefox install. It gave browsers a multi-window UI in 1994. Automatic session saving and zoom in 1996. Popup blocking and mouse gestures in 2000.
It was 2 years after that that Firefox hit it's first public beta. - Danikar, on 03/28/2008, -0/+22Acid 3 makes refreshing your browser fun and colorful!
- colincornaby, on 03/28/2008, -11/+31Hey Firefox, what's up with you not getting 100/100 on Acid 3 yet?

- johnnysaucepn, on 03/28/2008, -3/+20Opera is a real browser. Firefox is more of a browser construction kit.
- ortucis, on 03/28/2008, -1/+18This is the link for Opera (betas) addicts > http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/
- falafelkiosken, on 03/28/2008, -1/+17no, that's WebKit nightly.
Safari 3.1 gets 75 - legendxx, on 03/28/2008, -0/+15You must be retarded.
- Muncher, on 03/28/2008, -0/+14Unfortunately, the desktop builds aren't "passing" yet. Build 9864 still fails 21 of the tests.
Not that I care, what's important is that 9.50 final will be standards-compliant. - TheKorn2, on 03/28/2008, -0/+14You're one of those idiots who actually stands around debating if Ford or Chevy is better, aren't you?
- WiLLGT09, on 03/28/2008, -0/+11regular Safari 3.1 - 75/100
new WebKit version - 100/100 - ReK42, on 03/28/2008, -2/+13I ran the test on several browsers:
Opera 9.50 - 77
Chameleon 1.1 - 53
Firefox 2.0.0.13 - 52
IE6 - 11
IE7 - 4
Apparently IE7 actually got worse...
Also, anyone with safari mind posting your score? - MacSuxWindozSux, on 03/28/2008, -1/+12Passing ACID3 a priority?
I think meeting these tests demonstrates commitment to standards, and shows the reality of the implementation. We just got done with ACID 2. IE still doesn't pass it. And right away there's an ACID 3.
ACID 4 will be here immediately after most browsers pass ACID 3. And so on.
At this point I wouldn't get hung up about passing ACID 3. Getting a high score is nice, but ultimately doesn't decide how well the browser functions. It can play a major factor however.
The tests are great but a 60 vs. 80 score on Acid 3 isn't going to make me switch browsers. A 71 vs. 100 isn't either. If your browser is close to the other browsers, chances are you aren't going to see an increase in incompatible websites any time soon. - bejayel, on 03/28/2008, -2/+13They said that the animation is somewhat machine dependant. However, they also say that it passes properly, but there are a few things that will be ironed out to make it better. Do your reading.
- fucayama, on 03/28/2008, -2/+13I've used 9.50 on and off for a while and loved it. fast and nice interface. It'll be a winner once they got the stability sorted.
- dangwoot, on 03/28/2008, -6/+16firefox only scored 52/100 :(
- Angostura, on 03/28/2008, -1/+10It's going to take several months to render Acid3 though.
- sfury, on 03/28/2008, -5/+13no point, but also Opera and Safari are significantly faster in page rendering then Firefox
- comrade693, on 03/28/2008, -3/+11The team behind Firefox is working on getting a release out the door. That means no new features, so don't expect Firefox 3 to pass ACID 3. It does well now though - 71/100 and the animation looks pretty smooth.
- Cannon49, on 03/28/2008, -2/+10You know you've seen too many political articles when you glance and think it says "Obama" instead of "Opera"
My bad - Junyor, on 03/28/2008, -1/+8Screenshot at http://weblog.timaltman.com/archive/2008/03/28/aci ...
- MrViklund, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7I don't use Opera but good for them. At least it's not IE.
- legendxx, on 03/28/2008, -2/+9Did he say he didn't care? He pointed out a factual requirement of passing the test.
- johnnysaucepn, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Superior to drawing it by hand?
- inactive, on 03/28/2008, -1/+7You picked the wrong space to pick a fight buddy.
Mouse gestures FTW! (FF's add-on version doesn't cut it) - daborg, on 03/28/2008, -2/+71 MINUTE? Seriously, you need a computer from this decade.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5I doubt you'll see a major website coded in a way where the extra points matter.
The reality is ACID 3 won't matter much for some time.
Getting there first and last is all about bragging rights and perception. - cesclaveria, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5I got 4 with IE6 under wine
- fodder0, on 03/28/2008, -3/+8firefox 3 beta 4 scoring 68/100 satisfactory enough for me, try on Internet Explorer :P
- Trixrox, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5With the speed at which these browser development teams are working, passing the Acid 3 test in a pretty short period of time, you'd think they had their homepage set to the acid3 test. Every waking moment of their day on their computer would remind them of the holy right of passage that is the acid 3 test.
- Thoku, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Internet Explorer 8.00.6 (64 bit) - 18
- TheKorn2, on 03/28/2008, -2/+6Yay? A Hyundai could have beaten Safari 3.0 in the speed department!
- tensvb, on 03/28/2008, -5/+9The last time I checked Opera and Safari had less memory problems than Firefox and less security holes than Internet Explorer, so I wouldn't worry to much.
- Thoku, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Because the test aims to show that you have correctly implemented a large number of complex issues that are specified withing the HTML and JavaScript standards as defined by W3C. That standard/specification is what web designers should be working from when making their websites to guarantee it works in all browsers.
- EvilBaby, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5penis
- johnnysaucepn, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5That just means Opera is caching effectively. Try your back button, you'll see the difference.
- surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5Just add curse words... That's the recipe of the internet..
- Bleeding_Heart, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Firefox 3.0pre 28 Mar 08 Nightly - 71
Opera 9.5 9864 - 79
Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 - 18
Opera WinGogi - 100
Safari 3.1 + Webkit 31386 - 100 - surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Dang... I'm going to drink some myself ..and see if the numbers improve..
Then again, I'm at work... A drunk employee starting a fight with co-workers ...
*Hic*.."You owe me money.."
( I know what you mean, I'm not that ignorant).. - Frost9999, on 03/28/2008, -4/+8I would like Firefox to fix one thing - the startup time. There are plenty of people who experience over 1 minute start times. Fix that, then worry about ACID3.
- surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4I got 12 with IE 6... 6.0.2
- johnnysaucepn, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Apparently, you do.
- cesclaveria, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4thats right... but I am using lingogi and I do not see any difference between the result and the reference.
- DestroyFascism, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Adn I think FF is the one you are referring to...
- inactive, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4It's not a hype. It's been around since 1996.
- Angostura, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4The Webkit nightlies score 100/100 - but not smooth IMHO.
Standard Safari on Mac scores 75 - TheWindBlows, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3IE renders so slow on all versions....
9.50 b Opera renders pages 3-4x faster than IE5 on a old win 98 box...
leaving the old IE on the computers probably reduces updating and allows mass updating patches if needed.
All i can tell you is http://portableapps.com
then use an internet explorer 6 theme.
