I believe Acid is intended for browsers that already have the general standards down, but may still render some special cases incorrectly and are buggy in some areas.
[QUOTE=Tu154M;20849428]Many people have to use old browsers such as IE6 at their workplace because they have no sufficient rights to install anything else and a company that [b]is lazy[/b] won't think about an update of their systems if the software they use works just fine.[/QUOTE] Fixed, IE 8 is available for XP so unless they're running 2000 (which loses support this year) or older they have no excuse.

[QUOTE=4RT1LL3RY;20858886]Can you please tell me some of these sites? I do know of some like that but it's usually caused by hacks for other browsers in my experience.

Wow, what I meant was that the acid3 test is sort of a standard for browsers to test againt lol, not just IE. And it tests browsers on their ability to render things, not how well they render them. I'm talking from an educated 'i'm assuming thats how it works' standpoint too, so don't quote me on anything lol. :p
Unless this is truly amazing I'm sticking with Chrome, but school uses IE so I hope this is good.

At least their fixing IE, it was so bad

I still don't get why you'd use this over Safari or Chrome.
[QUOTE=DamagePoint;20890381]I still don't get why you'd use this over Safari or Chrome.[/QUOTE] Well I could use it. No other reason than it comes preinstalled and it's decent.
I just don't see it winning back any switchers. Which if that's not what they were trying to do, is fine. But I thought they were.
IE still manages to look like ass with 500 Bing, Google, Ask and whatever the fuck kind of toolbar available.
[QUOTE=Lemonator;20890666]IE still manages to look like ass with 500 Bing, Google, Ask and whatever the fuck kind of toolbar available.[/QUOTE] I think any browser with any of those toolbars looks like ass.
Looks like ass too! [IMG]http://abcdefu.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/firefox-maximum-toolbars.png[/IMG]
I don't understand the mindset of anyone who installs (or lets some program install) toolbars like that. Something installed the ask.com toolbar on my brother's computer and changed his home page to ask.com, and he never did anything about it. Either of those would drive me batshit insane in days.
the only reason theyre amping up IE is because of the antitrust suit in Europe which is going to spread sooner or later. if they are going to compete then why wont they compete [i]Well?[/i] Anyways, whichever way this goes ill stick to firefox for desktops and chrome for netbooks.

It's only a matter of time before I get an Ask Toolbar.
