Acid 3 Test Comparison

[honda12]

I just decided to do a comparison of the new (well it is not really new!) acid 3 test between firefox 2 and internet explorer 7.

First here is the reference rendering (what it is supposed to look like)

Here is the internet explorer 7 rendering:



As you can see, it bares very little resemblance to the reference rendering.

Here is the firefox 2 rendering:



It shows more resemblance to the reference rendering than internet explorer 7, but again it is not rendered very well

At least it rendered the test better than internet explorer!

[honda12]

As an extra I will show how firefox 3 beta 3 renders the acid 3 test:




Out of all the browsers tested here so far, firefox 3 beta 3 renders the test the best, but it still has a loooong way to go (59/100)

Feel free to take the test yourself to see how YOUR browser renders the acid 3 test!

since firefox 3 beta 4 was released yesterday I will post it's score:

I've took a Acid 3 test(I've used IE 6 SP2), but the result is different between IE 6 SP2 and IE 7.The result is 11~12/100.

Thanks for the image of the IE6 rendering , I will post here aswell:



As you can see the Internet Explorer 6 rendering appears to be better than the Internet Explorer 7, a likely reason for this is because Interent Explorer 7 blocked the initilization of some tests (as shown in Internet Explorer 7 post)

I've found this page: http://www.anomalousanomaly.com/2008/03/06/acid-3/
It seems that Safari (90/100, beta version) and Konqeror (62/100, released version) are the best (for now).

[honda12]

Yes, that seems to be the case - Safari and Konqueror both conquered (excuse the pun! ) the acid 2 test, so it seems right that they score highly in the acid 3 test.

Well...the exception to the rule is Internet Explorer 8 who passed the acid 2 test, but failed the acid 3 test (but I suppose it is still a beta! - Im still a little (alot) biased towards Firefox )

I bet that the IE 8 developers were a little annoyed, as all their hard work to pass the acid 2 test were slightly dampened by the release of the acid 3 test, around 3 months after they passed it
