Well, opera 10 alpha achieved a perfect ACID 3 score of 100 in December. I wondered when firefox would join the fun.

Today I got a new firefox alpha build (Gecko/20090129 Minefield/3.2a1pre) on windows which scores 100 too. Waiting for updates to Shiretoko on my Jaunty too.

You don't download it, you need to build it from source obtained from the Mozilla mercurial servers.

next release will be 3.1 (Shiretoko branch) this is an ongoing branch that will produce Minefield (3.2) branch and go on ... ;) it is great. I try Shiretoko once in a week but always return to Minefield next day ... ;)
just to be OK with the thread, last-night's 3.2a1pre gets 92/100 in metacity, 93/100 in compiz.

You can hack most extensions by downloading the extension and opening the .xpi in file roller. Then just change the "max version" number in install.rdf (with gedit) to match or be higher than the version (of ff) you are using.

E.g


<em:targetApplication>
<!-- Firefox -->
<RDF:Description em:id="{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}"
em:minVersion="2.0"
em:maxVersion="3.1b2pre" />
</em:targetApplication>
</RDF:Description>
</RDF:RDF>

Opera actually achieved 100/100 on March 2008. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the result is perfect, it has be smooth as well.

It seems acid has become some sort of standards test. I'm not exactly sure why, as I havn't noticed it being used on any websites. Why is it some important standards test for web browsers to compete against? What makes it so important? Aren't there other web standards more important than the always cited acid test?

Can someone point me to a website that uses acid3?

Maybe I'm ignorant, but I havn't gone to any websites and said "damn this website uses acid and my browser is not fully acid compatible."

I get a 93% with FF 3.1b2 PGO.

Midior-git with libwebkit-git (Arch AUR packages) gives 100% pass.
