I mentioned the Acid 3 test to a friend today and ended up looking for information on it on the wiki page, and found some intresting info:
As naive of me as it seems, it never occurred to me that the score on the test could not be accurate.
Based on Acid 3 i always considered Chrome to b an accurate browser, however, it always seemed to fuck up the layout work i do royally.
But then, if u scroll down the wiki page, there's something odd.
It lists all 4 browsers that passed the Acid 3 test so far, however, Chrome is marked as "dubious".
I am currently making a new blog and Wiki skin, and both show differently on Firefox (which is what i use to develop it) and on Chrome. So i decide to download Opera which is confirmed to have passed the Acid 3 test as well.
The result? it's nothing like Chrome. It's actually almost dead on like Firefox (which gets 94% at the test). Even IE looks closer to what it's suposed to be than Chrome. Chrome's "real" score might actually be way bellow 90%.
I'm suspecting Chrome just has specific coding in it to "pass" the Acid 3 test so the browser would get a good rep, which in honesty would be a really clever plan.
I'm officially no longer making my layouts support Chrome at all, I am pissed for having wasted so many hours, days even, trying to get a layout to show up properly on Firefox IE and Chrome when Chrome, who was supposed to be the accurate one, displayed everything all over the place like a drunken retard.
In May and June, Google Chrome 2.0 and Opera Mobile 9.7 beta displayed a score of 100/100, but did not actually pass; release versions of these browsers passed fully later in the year. Security concerns over downloadable fonts delayed Chrome from passing.
