Firefox and Opera Fail the Acid2 Test

Posted by timothy on from the raising-the-bar dept.

naylor83 writes "Four weeks ago, Opera's CTO Håkan Lie put forward the Acid2 challenge to the IE developers at Microsoft. The Web Standards Project has now silently published the promised browser test. Somewhat surprisingly, both Opera and Firefox fail to correctly render the test page. Obviously though, they're no where near as lousy as Internet Explorer. More screenshots are available at my blog, as well as at other people's."

    I dislike MS as much as the next /.er but that line of FUD is unnecessary.

      "Yes, there is. If Firefox gets, say, 90% of the CSS rules correct, and Internet Explorer gets, say, 40% of the CSS rules correct, that's significant."

      At the end of the day, no it's not. Broken is broken.

      "Huh? Firefox made the headline as failing the test. Internet Explorer didn't. And you consider that to be FUD against Microsoft?"

      Let's see: "Obviously though, they're no where near as lousy as Internet Explorer."

      Let's all pat the OSS Community on the back!

    For a long time, it has been bad netiquette to critisize other people's grammar and spelling.

    I think you mean "criticize".
