Opera 9.0 Fully Passes ACID2 Test

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the both-users-celebrate dept.

Rytis writes "Opera has just become the second browser after Safari to be able to pass completely the famous ACID2 test. Mark Wilton-Jones is running a little article on the history of the Opera and ACID tests. Of course, it includes a screenshot of Opera 9 showing the nice happy face saying "Hello world!"."

  1. ICab and Konquerer don't pass by bas.westerbaan · · Score: 1, Redundant
    From the article:
    Konqueror and iCab almost pass (and claim to pass), but they both fail to apply one of the styles required by the test, and as a result they display a scrollbar even though they shouldn't (the Acid 2 guide neglects to mention this style, but see the source code for the test itself)
  2. Second browser? by ABoerma · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What makes Opera the second browser? Last time I checked, iCab and Konqueror rendered the test correctly as well.

  3. Uh... by Premo_Maggot · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Opera is actually the third....icab was the first browser to pass the test..

    There are a lot of crappy pages out there. If a page doesn't make it through the HTML validator why should anyone expect a browser to render it? Are your pages at work valid? What's the point of standards-compliant rendering engines if they all allow exceptions to the standard to be rendered?


    That's what makes me so crazy with all of the idiots who claim that browsers should accept fucked up code just like IE. Why???

    Do you expect to write a program that won't compile and still have it run correctly? Or at all? If you write a letter in badly broken English, do you expect others to be able to read it and fully comprehend it? Then why in hell do you expect it out of a rendering engine???
