Acid 3 Test Comparison

[PaulWin98SE]

I use a few browsers. IE 5.5 (Which was no longer supported for Windows 98, only Windows Me and up updates for it.) And FireFox 2.0.0.12. The only Browser which was last supported for Windows 98SE was 6. Which I have never used on my system, except in Me.

I tried out two other browsers: The World Browser, it turns out to be a very nice FireFox like shell for the IE engine. It's not Firefox in looks or feel. Just some features like and more. I have since uninstalled it.

There is another browser which it seems to be based on the same browser engine as FireFox, its called K-Meleon. If failed the acid3 test just as FireFox did.

ah yes, k-meleon the speed demon!

I like it due to the fact you do not need to install it (and because it fast!)

But, it lacks the features that other browsers have, so I don't use it as my primary one.

It is still very useful, as you can run it on a pen drive (or memory sticks, as we call them here in the UK), even without needing to install portable apps

Firefox 3 beta 5 has been released so here's how it did on the acid 3 test:



I have to congratulate Firefox - 71/100 is a great score, especially for a beta!

I just recently intalled Opera 9.52 (a 9.6 is available.) And it did well, though failing: 84/100

[PaulWin98SE]

Neither Opera 9.52 nor IE5.5 can upload attachments to this forum. Only Firefox 2.0.0.17 works correctly here.

Here is the image/attachment of Opera 9.52:

Hi there,

I just recently intalled Opera 9.52 (a 9.6 is available.) And it did well, though failing: 84/100

New versions of a browser often address vulnerabilities. The two that have been fixed by the release of Opera version 9.60 are serious, warranting an upgrade.

Cheers.

Ooof. I don't know how Safari will do this time, but Firefox 3.0.3 scored a 74/100.

70/100 is the result in Firefox 3.0.1 (I've accidentally ran the test without disabling NoScript and AdBlock Plus first, but there is no change), but if you are in offline mode, the result fails with 51/100.
Strange is that Firefox 3.0.1 has lower result than Firefox 3 beta 5 and it seems that Firefox 3.0.1 passes the Linktest while Firefox 3 beta 5 does not.
Result for Firefox 3.0.1:

I will try to install Safari 3.1.2 and check result. It should be very good.

Result for Safari 3.1.2: 74/100
See attachment.

P.S. Look at post #9 and check the link. Safari 4.0 beta has passed 100/100 in less than 1 second!

Here is the result of for http://acid3.acidtests.org/

9.52 was 84/100, 9.6 is 85/100
