Acid 3: Opera first to 106

By Johan Borgborg. Tuesday, April 1, 2008 9:51:30 AM

While working on the last few remaining issues we have with the Acid3 test, one of our testers discovered an easter egg in the test. Over the weekend our developers have hunted down more of them and worked around the clock to improve our score as you see in this screenshot:



One of our core developers was especially impressed with the quality of the easter eggs: "I've never seen this well obfuscated ECMAscript code, it is clear that the language now is mature enough to compete with C and Perl".

Opera's Chief Web Opener David Storey, tells us he is thrilled that the race for points has broken the psychological barrier of 100/100, crossing his fingers that even imaginary numbers might be within the reach of Opera and WebKit developers now fighting for the lead in Web standards compliance.

Well done Desktop Team - now that you've conqured imaginary numbers in ACID-3, there's no stopping you now! Take that, Safari! Didn't notice the Easter Egg when finding all those bugs, did you! HAHAHAHA! bigsmile

That's amazing, Opera is the best browser ever!
When will we see some improvements in a stable version?
I really need an Opera 9.3 or something like that before 9.5 is released

Jo Valentine-CooperViqsi Tuesday, April 1, 2008 12:36:21 PM

Clearly that obfuscated ECMAscript remains just for people's amusement, as the test still indicates that the score still has to stop on 100/100. Hopefully we'll see it standardized soon.
