Ever encountered a web page that didn't render probably, or required a specific browser (aka Internet Exploder), such a scenario shouldn't of been the case if software companies sticked to open standards, there are a set of standards internationally estabilished of what a web page should be like.
The CSS, or Cascadaing Style Sheets standard was first introduced by Håkon Wium Lie during has work at W3C in 1994. So we are talking about a relatively old standard, obviously the standard has gone through major revisions CSS2 and CSS3. This standard was meant to ease up the life of web developers and deliver a unifrom web experience everywhere.
Yet, a well known company, doesn't really care about web standards. They showed no interest in implementing the web standards required to pass Acid3. I hope they burn in hell forever and ever till the end of time for complicating the lives of web developers and the surfers.
Another well known company is working night and day, through a community lead effort, improving its web browser and rendering engine to be as compliant as possible. That browser also happens to be the fastest browser on Earth!
Acid3 in simple terms is a test set by the Web Standards Project, to test how much of the standards does the browser implements.
So what browser are using, how well does it handle dynamic web pages? How does it handle JavaScript and DOM, does your browser comply to web standards agreed on by everyone except the criminals at Redmond?
