Acid 3 browser test
Lets compare how our internet browsers deals with ACID3 test.
Measurement scale: 100 points
- 100/100 Safari 4
- 085/100 Opera 9.63
- 079/100 Chrome 1.0.154.48
- 071/100 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6
- 020/100 Internet Explorer 8.0
- 012/100 Internet Explorer 7.0
- 011/100 Internet Explorer 6.0
* So at the moment SAFARI 4 is THE ONLY browser that passes the Acid 3 browser Test.
To pass the test, a browser must use its default settings, the animation has to be smooth, the score has to end on 100/100, and the final page has to look exactly, pixel for pixel, like this reference rendering.
Unfortunatly by looking to statistics people still uses Internet Explorer. Why? ![]()
I hope u are’not the one, if you are, download one of the top 4 browser above.
