Acid for mobile browsers

The W3C offered the public a test for mobile browsers , which can be called “Acid for mobile browsers”.

A free translation of the “introductory word” is about

The task of this test is the same as for all well-known Acid tests. On one page you can verify compliance with the 12 technologies and standards. These standards are widely known, and in most cases are quite adequately perceived by browsers on computers, but mobile browsers cannot boast with this. We believe that these technologies will be in great demand in a year or two.

The test results are shown visually, with the help of three lines of squares. The lines are sorted by the complexity of the tests performed. The first line is well-known and successfully implemented technologies and standards. The second - those that are being introduced, roughly speaking, today. The third is the standards and technologies of tomorrow. If the test is passed, then the square will be green. If not, then red, purple or even be a rectangle. As far as we know, not a single browser (whether mobile or any other) does not pass the test to “excellent”.
