Acid3 Released: Web 2.0 Specifications Emerge

The Web Standards Project announced today the release of the Acid3 test, a consecutive release of a series of tests designed to help browser makers realize the standards of the web to which they are encouraged to uphold for the best and most consistent user experience.

The test consists of varying amounts of CSS, JavaScript, HTML, and tests with PNG images. Browsers are ranked on a point score based on how each one graphically renders the different use cases.

The overall results for each browser are as follows:

  • Firefox 2.0.0.12: 50%
  • Firefox 3.0b3: 61%
  • Opera 9.26: 46%
  • Safari 3.0.4: 39%
  • WebKit Nightly: 87%
