Opera 10.5 Final: 311.4ms ± 1.2% - Full results: http://pastebin.com/6Cb1jgrH
Firefox 3.7a3: 670.8ms ± 3.5% - Full results: http://pastebin.com/q2rvx6NJ

Even with IE, which is well known to be slow, I can hardly tell any difference at all between page load times.  So does it really even matter? (unless you have a super slow computer, like a netbook).

Well no. But its sort of an "aim" for this-generation browsers. Compliance.

And double you tee eff? I didn't know IE8 only got 20/100 O_O

Shows even the browser coders don't really care about this stuff, neither should you.

Correction: Microsoft don't really care.. but they really should.

The whole point of the Acid test is for browsers to test their compliance with Web Standards and failure to do so indicates the browsers lacking ability to render correctly coded pages. Granted, sites may not use code as complex as the Acid test - but a test such as this is required to show Web Standards are actually worth something, and if they are controlled and worked with in a collaborative manner, developers will be able to take advantage these standards - knowing browsers that comply will render their code correctly.. and right now.. for the most popular browser in the world it is pretty pathetic.

Web Developer care - and that's one of the very good reasons they have to advocate alternative browsers such as Firefox, Opera and Chrome.

No I mean it doesn't personally effect you.  A browser with a score of 70 and 100 probably works exactly the same, 99.99% of the time, for your general every day websites.

So as a user, you should not care too much about it.  If you're a web designer, then maybe it's a different story.

well seeing as my current occupation involves maintaining a few sites its something that comes to mind.

That doesn't matter anyway - I don't need to qualify myself to have a curiosity in the subject :/

Didn't notice throughout yesterday, but in the context menu I found "Inspect Element"...

wat.... Opera has an integrated equivalent of Firebug for Firefox.

..... I may have a new favorite browser..

I've switched to Opera 10.5 at home and in work now.

'nuff said.

double you tee eff no SOCKs Proxy support. unexpected.

^ Been one of my major WTFs of Opera.
Despite what's said, nothing beats the customisability and flexibility of Firefox.
