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…

  1. Now hopefully this revision of WebKit will make it into Safari and iPhone in not too much time. The downside is that even with Opera passing the “big two” Windows browsers still don’t pass. Though the main parts that Acid3 tests that I might actually use is the CSS3 stuff which Firefox already supports to a fair degree. Now if only IE could catch up, and be as public about their development as the WebKit team.
