IE6 with SP2 installed:
Now if MS could only close the huge windows they have open for spyware, they might have a pretty good browser on there hands!
I had to disable the Google toolbar. It caused the last test to fail because it blocked a certain type of legal window. When I told Google to allow the popups from this site, IE6 got a perfect score.Normal popup blocking = Passed

OK this is what I get with SlimBrowser. However I do not agree with the results, since none of the popups was displayed on my screen. They all where killed by SlimBrowser Popup blocker accompanied by the regular beep. So I dont know why it records as failed.

FireFox 0.9.3 gave me a 100% on the Standard test. Hmmm.

Hmm, using IE 6 with google toolbar, although the toolbar closed the last window, it popped up for a split second before google closed it. So it failed that test. When I did the advanced test, it passed it with a score of 100.

Firefox 9.3 first try!
SInce I knew all the correct answers I cheated on the second try!
You scored 100 , a rating of Outstanding!
I think it may have to do with how long it takes to click the ok button? First time I was slow, busy with something else, second time I clicked it right away and passed.
Anyone want to geuss how MS explorer 6.0 did??
Thats right the only tests it passed was let popups pop!
