Are you planning on doing more tests? Since the last one most of the
browsers have undergone numerous revisions. Do you have any plans for this?
Thanks,
Andrew

I do.
Opera - I will wait for the next major number (9 or whatever)
Firefox - I will wait for the next engine (1.5)
iCab - I will wait for a final 3
Safari - I will not test for a while, since 1.3 and the latest 2 are pretty
much the same as the 2.0 I tested. I will wait for a release with the Acid 2
fixes.
Konq - not got access to the latest release at the moment, but I hope to
test 3.4.whatever soon (when I get SuSE 10 installed). However, I would
prefer to wait for 3.5, since that should have the Acid 2 fixes.
IE 7 - already tested beta 1
Most of the others are skins or use similar engines, so they will not have
changed much, no matter how much their version numbers change. (A few, like
Netscape 8 are identical to the versions I tested [0.5.6] and have just been
given a new number to make them seem better, even though they still suck.)
I obviously cannot test every minor release, I simply do not have the time.
But I will try to test major releases.

Mark,
Thanks, I'll be looking forward to it. The comparison test really cleared up
alot of misconceptions about performance of the various browsers in
different areas.
Thanks again,
Andrew
