IE allergic to acid
July 31st, 2008
Technology, internet
Another attempt to make the IE user -hopefully not for long- switch to Firefox (version 3 is amazing!). So, let’s not talk about long lists of differences and features. We have a test, called the acid test..Click here to see what it should look like when it loads(the reference). And click here to test your browser.
Ofcourse, Firefox3 passes the test beautifully (download it from here). IE6 and IE7 totally fail…ofcourse!! The Microsoft developpers said that their baby IE8 passed the acid2 test but later..they said that it didn’t pass and they even wrote why…..no comment.
This may not seem a big deal to the users (it’s huge to web developpers). I mean it’s just a test after all and not the end of the world. But again, would you use a browser that messes up that cute smiley face the way IE does??

safari (MAC browser) looks identical to firefox, except the diamond nose is one pixel larger for some reason, but just as clear. but who cares anyway? I am typing this comment and staring at the Ghaza banner to the left. long live Ghaza! long live Palestine!
