Acid3 Test

[macwish]

The new Acid3 Test is out (http://acid3.acidtests.org). Acid3 is apparently much more complicated than Acid2, but Camino seems to do better than Safari, IE, Omniweb, or iCab.
On my Core 2 Duo MacBook
Camnio 1.5.5: 52/100
Safari 3.0.4: 39/100
Internet Explorer 5.2.4 (unable to complete test at all)
Omniweb 5.6: 39/100
iCab 4.0.1: 39/100

As you can see, Safari, Omniweb and iCab (beginning with version 4.x) all have the same score – that is because they use the same rendering engine offered by Mac OS X (Webkit).

The value currently reported for the Camino trunk build is 70. (I think it was 68 or 69 a few days ago, seems our dear devs made some progess!)

The value reported by the current Webkit nightlies is even higher (in the nineties, I think).

PS: I wonder what the value for the current branch nightlies is?

Not much different from Camino 1.5.x, I suppose. They share the same rendering engine (Gecko 1.8.1).
And I don't think the Acid 3 score will go much higher for Gecko 1.9 (FX 3, Camino 2), may be a few points, but not more. The rest of the work will go in Gecko 2.

The test is not so important…

but it is fun! All these rectangles and some colors and things are happening, and things look strange and, erm … there is a score afterwards!

And shift-clicking on the 'A' ! .

A few more for fun:
66/100 for Firefox 3.0b4
52/100, "fail", and a few kitties for Seamonkey 1.1.8
46/100 and lots of missing graphics for Opera 9.26
39/100, "fail", and a kitty for the current Omniweb 5.7a version, as expected
a paltry 26/100, "fail, and a kitty for Shiira 2.2, and
the same plus a crash for Demeter 1.0.8 (a fork of Shiira 1.2.2)

OK, it's cool and all that Camino's current stable beats all the WebKit based current stables, but...

Camino 1.5.5 still doesn't pass the Acid2 test. Safari's current stable sure does. Now if I go test IE7 on XP and it passes Acid2 that'd be really shameful for Camino not to.

[ishermandom]

Camino 2.0 will pass the Acid2 test, just as Firefox 3 will/does. It would certainly be nice if Gecko saw more frequent updates, but I guess that's the price you pay for maintaining Gecko's high website compatibility.

Don't worry, IE 7 doesn't pass the Acid test. By some miles. IE 8 beta (alpha) does, somehow, but that one is far from release quality.

And yes, Camino 2a1pre does past the test.
