Firefox Beta Scores 93 On Acid3 Test

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the scored-worse-on-meth2-test dept.

CodeShark writes "Mozilla released their latest Firefox 3.X beta today (3.5b4), and increased their score on the Acid 3 test to 93 [on my XP laptop], with tests 70, 71, and tests 75-79 being the final challenges. Curiously though, the current release of the top Acid3 performer — Safari — still not only rates higher (I got scores of 99 once and 100 most of the time) but is usually faster by a little (1.1 sec avg. vs. 1.4 over ten runs apiece) but only because the new Firefox beta was all over the map — frequently better by 25% (.85sec) or tanking badly with rendering times in the 2.5 — 3 second range, and both suffer performance hits on one test (#69)."

  1. Opera 10 gets a 100 and it's only an alpha by AnonGCB · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Opera 10 got this done months ago. This isn't news until it gets 100 consistently.

    Safari 4 beta already reaches 100/100 as does Opera.

    My Acid Test Does it have adblock? Does it have mouse gestures? Firefox gets a 100%. I don't know about the others.
