    ACID3 Anonymous -- 28/01/09

    I notice the ACID3 test open in one of those tabs. I have not yet had the change to test out this new browser so i was wondering how it scored?

    19/100 - it's one of the screenshots. Pitiful.

    I'd prefer to see how it works in the real world and not test environments - both couldn't be more different.

    Why Firefox 3.1beta 1 Anonymous -- 28/01/09

    Why Firefox 3.1 beta 1 since beta 2 has been released long ago (like 1 or 2 moths ago).. is that some kind of bias towards other browsers..?
    Out of all the (alpha/beta/RC) browsers listed here only for Firefox has been used an outdated version.

    IE8/Safari/FireFox/Opera Anonymous -- 28/01/09

    IE is still and will stay far away from Safari/fireFox/Opera Thanks to their Javascript compilator

    Sunspider is crap. Anonymous -- 28/01/09

    Sunspider might be considered "The benchmark" for Javascript performance, but that just shows how sad the state is. It's a lousy benchmark, or collection of micro-benchmarks - with all the problems that micro-benchmarks have.
    The individual tests are badly coded or even buggy (but in that sense, they might be representative of code on the internet in general). The tests aren't weighted in any way, and their scores are just summed. It makes no sense, methodologically. And it gives no idea what is really being tested.

    Opera scores badly on Sunspider, but is still one of the most responsive and speedy browsers in practice.

    Making a good benchmark is hard. Apparently harder than most who attempt it realize.
