By: Peter Chubb | September 3, 2008
Now that the dust has settled on Google Chrome, the new web browser from the search engine giant, it is time for the Acid3 test. Well the results are very good, as it looks as though Google Chrome is much more stable than Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7.
For those who do not know what the Acid test is, Cnet explains that the process test how well a browsers complies with web standards. All three of the browsers passed the Acid2 test; it is chrome that has managed to pass 78 out of 100 on the Acid3.
Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3 only managed to lock out 14 and 71 respectively. However Google Chrome does not top the Acid3 test list that goes to Opera, that browser locked out on 83.

Google Chrome is based on the historic build of WebKit. So no wonder it doesn’t pass.
WebKit itself passed Acid3 fully for the first time on Friday. So it’s 100 subtests of 100 passed now.
Opera 9.60 Beta scored 85.
Safari 4 does 100% of the acid3 test
Opera 10 Beta build 1551 got a 100/100 and is super fast
My chrome 4.0.249.89 (38071) did 100/100!
