IE8 passes Acid2 Test and FF3 fails

[DigitalDude]

sheesh stop this already

let me make my stand clear

I dont approve of the title "FF3 fails" (kalpik asked "who?" so I just quoted the source), I just support and happy about this part "IE8 passes Acid2 Test".

I use FF+IE+OPERA on a daily basis (cos i need to login with diff customer ids to manage my domain reseller accounts and I also design websites...)

I like all of them... and its known well that IE screws certain things so need to code a separate CSS for IE alone (though its little work).

so every web developer will breathe a sigh of relief after knowing that IE8 will be passing (atleast making efforts to) the acid2 test and will support the web standards.

that is the situation I'm in.

I just quoted few lines from the source to answer the question of kalpik.
and also commented about his post as I also felt the same like prasad_den.

@kalpik: didn't expect this from you (the 1st post in this thread)...!!

p.s. why I'm explaining my situation is cos I received a pm

It doesn't matter where the news is posted. The fact still remains that we the users can test and know that FF passes the test for sure.
On the other hand, M$ only claims that IE8 passes it.

dude, this is way too difficult for M$ 'supporters' to understand! can't you simplify it a lil more?hehe.


The poster should have posted something like "Finally,We have a browser from M$ which supports web standards".I mean Just stop comparing ff and IE, they are no match.

And by these two words U want to say IE user are fool and lazy.
Huh......... !!!

I didn't refer to that word.. I want to say that IE users are lazy or dont know abt other browser, to quote your own words..

I dont want to start but opera is my choice...

Offtopic


Opera users..

Have yöü noticed that after long time of usage opera starts to consumme or say it builds of so large amount of memory...and even becomes slow.i even changed opera to use less memory ,still it uses large memory.anyway to solve?

Yes, thats why I am using FF 2 now.

@ravi: I'm not referring to anyone.. why do you want to take it personally..??

arre ji don't rely on task manager for memory consumption. For example it might show that opera is consuming 60-80mb but actually its quite low. Just minimize Opera and c the memory drop drastically.
and if it is still slowing down just empty that cache!

WTF?can any MOD edit the title of this thread?ignornance is bliss for Microsoft owned fanboys!
FF is FTW!try FF3 and say for urself!even in my exp with ff3beta3pre,the memory usage is not that as of FF2!Now,atleast webdevels follow Open standards rather than optimizing for that buggy browser(IE!).
it will be a welcome move if ie8 will pass acid2!

M$ fanboys just hold ur horses!

Yes memory leaks seem to be been plugged in FF3...
Its not a memory hog as FF2...
I have started liking the new drop down thing in FF Beta2 onwards!
@Ravi
When did the world start estimating credibility of sites according to the PR of a site!!
You spend money and you get PR..its as simple as that.

yaa..PR is not a way to estimate content of a site.But a site with PR7 really mean something.

Are you still having a new year hangover? you're contradicting yourself

 

[kalpik]

Gosh! Its so hard to convince people

 

[FilledVoid]

Heres a piece of advice .
If you go to random blog ABC and then copy paste information here and if it isn't true then someone is going to question it whether it be PR7 or PR 111111one no one cares about PR its all about facts and when facts are untrue it is also called FUD in other words fear, uncertainty and doubt.

There is no PR rule according to which content of a website can be estimate..but yes a site with PR7 holds some reputation.

I hope U can understand wht a PR7 site really means.
And the news was also posted on forum..whose link I have already mention.

I have posted link of a forum also..where people saying FF3 fails test.

Which again is false.

So if google (heh.. higher than PR7 ofcourse) posts that the world is gonna end tomorrow, would you blindly believe that?

Hmm.. You've got the Duracell "Never say die" attitude.. I like it! Except for the fact that if even Mozilla themselves say that FF3 does not pass ACID2 test, i can always check for myself and see whether its true or not! That's what im asking you to do! Dont believe me, dont belive anyone on this thread! Just test for yourself! Till then, PLEASE dont say that FF3 fails the test because someone said so

Still, I'm happy that IE8 passes the test. I just hope it's not a resource hog like Vista such that no one upgrades to it (previous IE users that is).
