@48 epiquestions,

yes, i am a developer and still don’t care. these web standards are there to sell more “how to make compilant web sites” books, nothing more.

even, if you are a flash developer, who cares about colored boxes and DIV tags?

just checked safari 3.1 and i got lower score than firefox 3.b4.

firefox could display the blocks but only in grey. safari could not even display grey squares.

#36 – “Safari on Mac would totally ace this test.”

Current stable build of safari (3.0.4) on OS X 10.5 gets a rather disappointing score of 39, though nightly dev. builds do much better.

“noone cares. only the nerds show any interest for acidtest. it is the page every geek linkz in their review but no developer would give a damn about it.:

no developer would give a damn? well you obviously haven’t encountered users base that use different browsers.

If web standards wasn’t so important then why would IE change it’s ways and try to conform with the standards with IE8? As most people would say IE is the most used browser so they really don’t have to conform since most users would use them anyway.

If you’re not a developer than you really don’t have to care. Just don’t waste our time with your ignorant comments

@ Noir and 44 firefoxisuseless

Don’t be so ignorant. AcidTest is not about the Browser user. It is for the developers of browsers and for website developers. If the browser developers conform with the standards then it would make it easier for website developers to code without having to create workarounds for specific browsers.

If browser developers conform to the standard then it would in turn be easier to create GUI website creators that would produce websites that function and look the same no matter what browser you use.

@ Noirs#1Fan–Lisp

Why shouldn’t it be public?

It’s not Web Standards Project fault that every blog under the sun is reporting its release.
