 Example of a failed Acid1 test.
History Acid1 tests many features on one page against a reference image. All major browsers pass the Acid1 test.[1] Acid1 was developed by Todd Fahrner, who was frustrated with the lack of stringent tests to improve browser interoperability. After looking at tests developed by Braden McDaniel that used reference renderings to clarify the intended result, Fahrner developed a comprehensive test that resulted in a quirky-looking graphic. In 1999, the test was incorporated into the CSS1 test suite.[2] The text used in Acid1 is an allusion to T. S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men. Acid1 is included as an offline Easter egg, accessible by typing 'about:tasman', in Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS with the text replaced by the names of the developers.[3] Acid1 has served as inspiration for Acid2 and Acid3.
