Webkit Acid3 Test–Now 100%
Oct 5th
I’ve previously forgotten to mention that as of September 25, 2008 Webkit now fully passes the Acid3 test. You can read more at a blog post on the Surfin’ Safari Weblog at blog.webkit.org. I’ve included screenshots below demonstrating this ability. To learn more about Webkit read this page, to get updates as to Webkit improvements go to Webkit.org ..
Remember this is a BIG deal because what happens in Webkit will trickle down into Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome, eventually.
Google Chrome-Acid3 Test
Sep 2nd
The Acid3 test (here) tests a browsers Javascript rendering ability in terms of being standards-compliant, for a reference Webkit scores 100, Opera scores 83, Firefox 3 scores 71, IE 7 scores 12, but you just get a mess (seen here), and Google Chrome (which uses the Webkit rendering engine (don’t confuse this with the browser “WebKit“, read more about webkit here) and a new javascript engine called V8-which boasts speed to kill, produces a 73 on the Acid3 test. Not bad considdering it’s the fastest to complete the test, but clearly Opera and WebKit (the browser).
@UPDATE- 9:35P
after doing some Google searching I’ve discovred that Google Chrome has scored from 61/100 to 78, this test is supposed to be repeatable, however it seems there’s some user-biased module to Chrome. My finding was that Chrome scored 73. That’s all I can say for sure.
