I'm reluctant to start this thread, because I'm afraid it will start yet another browser war, however, I thought it was pretty neat. The Acid Test, as some of you know, is a test for certain standards and stuff-like-that for browsers. I don't think it's a particularly good test for how well your browser handles the internet, but other people disagree, and point to Internet Explorers low scores. This has been a point of contention for many years, and it looks like Microsoft is trying to turn their image around.
On Firefox 3.6.13 I get 94/100, here are the details:
In IE 9.0.7930.16406 (a beta) I get 95/100. Unfortunately I can't copy text from an alert window in it, and am too lazy to type up the specifics, but it's pretty similar to the report from Firefox.
For reference, Chrome and Opera both scored 100/100. All four of them passed Test 26, but took too long to do it (Chrome did it the fastest @ 36ms, then Opera @ 82ms, then Firefox @ 131ms, and then IE @ 555).
Like I said, I'm not trying to start a browser war here, and we all know people have different preferences, I just wanted to share my findings with IE9.
