IE8 Acid 3 Fail

June 19th, 2009

Out of curiousity I thought i’d run the Acid3 test on IE 8. It has a funny web address (acid3.acidtests.org), so I searched for it in the explorer address bar. Which, of course goes to Ding. Or Bing. Whaever.

Strangely, Bing has no reference to the Acid3 test! Plenty of references to drugs, but no Acid3. How bizarre!

Maybe this is why:

UPDATE:

For comparison, mobile Safari scores 97/100 on Acid3

UPDATE 2:

Nothing could have prepared me for IE 7’s epic fail. Un. Be. Lievable. (Thanks David)

    Ha! But did you try looking at it in IE7? That was truly an amazing experience!

    Btw, Chrome 3 does quite well—it gets to 99/100 on my system.

    No I haven’t tried IE 7 yet. Time to fire up Windows Vespa and give it a look!
