The Moz Cause

March 9, 2008 by Mark.

Being an avid slashdot reader, I read a lot of stories that are mostly based off fact. Then again, some are based off of total trash. I have witnessed the lack of informational prowess by story writers, but in this latest case, I don’t know where I should stand. The article in question is about the Acid3 test that browsers are benchmarked on. According to this story, Safari scores 90% and my favorite browser of all (Firefox) scores a mediocre 69%. This tells me one of two things, either the story is a complete joke or it’s a bold statement about Firefox’s web compliance. I have use Safari and I am not very impressed. It has many flaws that hamper my browsing experience (such as tables not being aligned correctly, flash issues, colors, etc). But those are all small things and if this Acid3 test is the industry “standard”, then I say its not much of one. I believe it might be favoring the Safari side or that it was built off standards that Safari developers pushed forth. In essence, a standard is a standard is a standard and should be taken with a grain of salt when trusting it’s verdict.
