Lightbulb How good is your browser?

As a web developer I often wish standards-compliant browsers would be more widespread. I noticed that many of my friends don't care about extra features in a browser enough to switch. But when I make them aware of how IE makes life hard for web developers, they would often consider switching - just to make another person's job easier. This led me to create:

http://www.howgoodisyourbrowser.com

I hope this website can be helpful to others as well in raising awareness of web standards. :-)

Cheers!

What actually does we have to do in order to make our browser to follow the web standards?

Re: How good is your browser?

Thx! :-) Well, I guess there is not much you can do to _make_ your browser standards-compliant, if it isn't already. The only thing you can do is to switch to another browser, that is more standards-compliant. On the website I suggested Firefox 3, which you can get for free at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ - if you have done the test in IE and do the test again in Firefox, you will probably see the difference. :-)

I tested them in IE7, the result is disaster
I tested in my FF2, its 95% near to the end result
