Statistics are amazing. You can spin and bend them to your will (or the will of whoever is sponsoring your research). For instance, did you know that 75% of people constitute three-quarters of the population? It’s true I tell you!
After the guys at Opera announced that version 9.5 (Kestral) will have full CSS 3 selector support I ran a few tests to see how various Windows-based browsers compare:
- Firefox 2.0.0.4
43 selectors, 26 passed, 10 buggy and 7 unsupported (Passed 357 of 578 tests)
- IE 6
43 selectors, 10 passed, 1 buggy and 32 unsupported (Passed 276 of 578 tests) - IE 7
43 selectors, 13 passed, 4 buggy and 26 unsupported (Passed 330 of 578 tests) - Opera 9.21
43 selectors, 25 passed, 3 buggy and 15 unsupported (Passed 346 of 578 tests) - Safari 3.0.1
43 selectors, 25 passed, 9 buggy and 9 unsupported (Passed 346 of 578 tests)
Safari and Opera were both blazingly fast. IE7 was painfully slow.
Notice that IE6 only had a single buggy result! The fact that is achieves this by simply not supporting anything is neither here nor there.
