WebKit wins the Acid3 race…

Congrats to the Safari/WebKit team on achieving this milestone!

The latest WebKit nightly successfully passes the Acid3 test with a score of 100/100. I was truly impressed by the series of progress updates on the WebKit blog as the developers feverishly worked on squashing the last handful of bugs.

So what’s the landscape looking like in the rest of browser-land?

  • An internal build of Opera also passed the test today, but it’s not yet available to the public. Kudos to the Opera devs on a job well done!
  • Firefox (Gecko) should be next in line, but don’t expect to see the changes in the upcoming 3.0 release. Too bad.
  • And Internet Explorer 8? I wouldn’t keep my hopes up…
