Acid 3: Opera first to 106

By Johan Borg. Tuesday, 1. April 2008, 09:51:30

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.

Congrats!

Vladas 1. April 2008, 16:41

106 of 100 (106%) would be better. Like plans in Soviet Union (USSR).
Hehe :smile:

"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"

haha, so well obscured it isn't even there :wink:

Kamalesh 1. April 2008, 17:17

Note that this build times out at 23:59 CEST (Norway time). :lol: (Very impressive, nevertheless...theoretically.)

Vasil Dinkov 1. April 2008, 17:22

Wow, I am desperate to test this build.. Please, oh please, release it to the public ASAP. :yes:

uniqiq 1. April 2008, 17:32

Donny 1. April 2008, 17:58

good news everyone, you don't need the new opera to get the easter eggs live... you can also use on of the older versions, just about any between 6 and 6.5 monkey :jester:
opera was looking ahead... the obuscations were prepared all along, but the droped it with version 7 - someone forgot what is was for... :smile:

(don't listen to me)

Brian Huisman 1. April 2008, 18:29

WTG! :wink:

zavalita2002 1. April 2008, 18:37

I've taken a look over the mozilla's die hard fans forums and they are NOT getting this april's fool too well. Shame, I say to you !

illiad 1. April 2008, 18:40

eeeeee... someones over-egged the pudding!!! :jester:

uniqiq 1. April 2008, 18:46

Ha Ha! Great avatars as well!!!! :lol:

Haavard 1. April 2008, 18:53

Where is that, zavalita2002? :smile:

Le()niD 1. April 2008, 19:22

As they didn't allow me to speak Russian here I would repeat it in your language

you'd better learn albanian before asking dumb questions!!! :frown:
where do you guys find such stupid users?!

Alexei 1. April 2008, 19:24

106/106 is impressive, but not THAT impressive. The best April fools joke would be when Google starts officially supporting Opera :lol:

Soleen 1. April 2008, 19:31

this was the funniest thing i've read today :smile:

Miłosz Sakowski 1. April 2008, 20:07

Well... Build which finally recognizes file extensions when downloading and opens gmail, would be much more interesting "1st April" joke </irony>

quark 1. April 2008, 20:22

I love Opera. That's not a joke...

_..-=Sir_.-._Jeff=-.._ 1. April 2008, 20:24
