As of yesterday, Opera is at officially back at 100/100, with the whitespace between the ',' and the 'a' and everything. They released the winGogi and linGogi builds on their labs page

I’d love to mess around with the Opera build that passes 3, but for all intents and purposes it doesnt exist.

Ann, care to provide access? :)

Using the WK nightly that passes right now.

Looks like Webkit beat Opera to the release. I just downloaded the latest nightly and it passes Acid3.

@rektide: Most reports, and my own tests, show the Easter build up to 77/100 on the latest Acid3 revision. Your score of 66 is more akin to the Feb 29th build. If you’re sure the Easter build installed okay, and you cleared your cache before running the test, you should consider reporting the disparity to Opera.

Thats not fair; I dont think you get to claim victory until you release something. My Opera gets 66/100. Easter build, March 18th, the latest available on the Desktop Team blog.

@Jeffrey: Unless you know something I don’t know, I wouldn’t count on WebKit getting 100/100 in “days” – since it would have to implement SMIL in SVG (and apparently that’s buggy and disabled in WebKit trunk)

I actually prefer Opera to Firefox. If it weren’t for all those must-have extensions (Firebug, webdev toolbar, adblock plus, …) I’d be using Opera as my main browser.

Anne,

Thanks for the clarification. I have fixed the main post. Congrats.

Cheers,

About IE 8 only passing Acid 2 on a certain URL. This reminds me a bit of what I wrote about IE and Acid 2 before they decided that IE 8 standards mode was going to be default:

Caught me quite by surprise … with the webkit team being very vocal about their progress, and not hearing anything from Norway, this came out of the blue for me.

Good to see that there’s real competition in the browser market these days.

*don’t mention the war*

Firefox 3 is soon out and it is simply too late to pass the Acid 3 test. Seems like Ian chooses to release a new Acid test each time a new Firefox release leaves the alpha stadium ;)

Happy that Opera made it. They f. rock.

Safari nightlies won’t be far behind for 100/100 – days from now probably. Where is Firefox on Acid3?

The updates from Ian have been done since the release of the test. Opera gets 100/100 on the latest version of the test.
