IE8 Passes Acid2 Test.But FF3 fails this test.

Now with this, Microsoft IE again proved to be best.

Quote:

The Acid2 test was developed by the Web Standards Project (WaSP) as a challenge to browser developers. In a single page, the test makes use of a broad range of features from several different web standards that developers have wanted to have in browsers for some time, and it uses them to display a deceptively simple smiley face.

It is true that nearly all web pages are designed with IE in mind and as such those are rendered perfectly with IE. Still, I have been addicted to Firefox from its very inception irrespective of its shortcomings. While I continue to use IE because some pages as www.anandabazar.com wouldn't open in any other browser, I mostly stick to Firefox.... this addiction will continue throughout my life. Viva la FF.

I dont want to start but opera is my choice...

Offtopic

Who the hell says firefox 3 does not pass the test?! You M$ guys have nothing better to do than to spread FUD! I can see for myself that firefox 3 passes the test.. Whereas i cannot see for myself whether IE8 does it too.. So ill accept that when i can see that for myself.. Till then i urge you to just stfu. And M$ being the best! HA! What a joke.. Some stupid browser _claims_ to pass the acid 2 test after YEARS of having a crap reputation of being the WORST wrt web standards and suddenly it becomes the best! Great!

The current beta of Firefox 3 comes close, but isn’t there just yet. With this announcement, it looks like Internet Explorer may actually beat it to the punch!

Doesnt happen on my work system,I keep it running all day.
Although, 9.5 beta does become unresponsive after prolonged use.

Do u use 9.5 or 9.24?

I will not believe it until i can have a copy of IE8 beta and test myself. M$ promised us a lot of stuff for Vista too.. But we don't see it anywhere now.

Good for you! But can you believe that FF3 passes the test? No? Even if you test for yourself? Heh..

Just because its bundled with windows and most people don't care to install a separate browser, doesnt make it any better at supporting web standards. (And repeating it twice wont make it better either). I'm sure you agree with me on this. Now don't say you don't care about web standards.. ACID2 test is ALL about web standards only.

Say that IE is the most used browser, ill agree. Say that IE8 passes ACID2, ill believe when its out, or i can have a preview build. But say that FF3 does not pass ACID2, when i can see for myself that it does, that's just crap.

ray|raven · 02-01-2008, 11:14 AM

Dude, please verify your data before you post,
Googling "Firefox 3 Acid test" will give enuf results saying ff3 does indeed pass the test.

Also, check this out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2#In_development
It lists FF3 as a Acid2 Compliant browser in development.
Oh n also, it says IE8 doesnt.

Just a thought...

Any shortcoming in any MS software would get their asses kicked black and blue! Dont see it happening to others softs much....

The above two contradicts your original posts. Hence it is FUD. There are numerous articles proving that FF has passed the test.

Scroll down to where it says IE8. I rest my case.. That's why we don't trust M$ in whatever claims they make until we can see for ourselves. Any more argument now?

When someone starts to correct typos, you know they don't have much to say... especially a small and obvious typo like IE3-IE8. And I could be wrong, but there was definitely an IE3 at some point of time...

The question you should be asking is "Whether you read it? You posted some persons random thread declaring that FF doesn't pass the Acid test. Obviously you are wrong as you stated above "Some people saying it passes". Now you tell me, you said that everything is wrong but in the next line you go on saying that it is not a FUD. In the topic title you say FF3 fails. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to deduce that this thread is a FUD. I understand you didn't do the experiment and all but when you start a topic on a forum with the title Product X fails Text Y but Product Z passes then be ready to back it up.

Exactly how? Safari Opera and many others passed this test more than a year ago and already have public releases which pass this test.

There may be chances that.......
FF3 was not passing the test ..but after the news on web..they have fixed it.

Why many people on web will post that FF3 fails the test.The test must have failed that time..and so people posted the news.

Ankur Gupta · 02-01-2008, 06:02 PM

ahh...
Ravi, did we get any update for Firefox beta2?? NO!
So there is no question of them fixing it!

praka123 · 02-01-2008, 06:07 PM

If it can be fixed SO easily and SO fast, why did it take IE YEARS to pass the ACID2 test? Heh.. Even now they only _claim_ to pass the test.
