Does your browser pass the acid test?

October12

How standards compliant is the browser you use? I was interested in finding the acid test: http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid3/

And as a web developer, I love their mission statement: “Founded in 1998, The Web Standards Project (WaSP) fights for standards that reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the Web. We work with browser companies,authoring tool makers, and our peers to deliver the true power of standards to this medium.”

As making websites cross browser compliant is very much a time consuming endeavor!

To see how they all compared, I took the following tests with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, and Google Chrome. http://acid3.acidtests.org/

6%: Internet Explorer Version8.0.6001.18975 (Compatibility Mode)

20%: Internet Explorer Version 8.0.6001.18975

94%: FireFox Version 3.6.6

100%: Google Chrome Version 7.0.517.44
