Browser Warz-Part 1: Safari worse than IE?

Monday, March 24th, 2008 – 10:34:59 am

I like testing my browsers to see how standards compliant they are.  As you know from my previous entries, Internet Explorer is definitely NOT standards compliant.  However, I could not have predicted that Safari would fail the test worse than IE.

And now, the rules:

  • No “Browser Warz” tests will be based on looks, it must be blatantly obvious if a browser has passed the test.
  • All four browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari) will be used in either the latest released version or the latest beta available to the general public, depending on the test.
  • No browser-specific code will be used.
  • Every test will be available for download.
  • Every test will be completely standards compliant.

Browser Warz test one tests the following:

  • Gzip decompression
  • xHTML file type and content type header
  • Base 64 decoding
  • data: protocol
  • css @include at rule

  • I updated it early…
