Opera on Acid

Acid3, Web Fonts, css3, RGBA, HSLA, Web Standards

We've just released information that Opera has overtaken Safari in its Acid3 score. The current score is now 98%, to Safari's 96%. I'd not be surprised if it improves further in the near future. This work is being carried out in a post Core-2.1 build, that most likely wont be included in Kestrel. Check out Anne VK's blog, or CSS3.info for some more information as it comes in.

Update: Working into the night, our core developers have fixed the final 2%, making Opera the first browser to reach 100% in the DOM tests. The test hasn't been passed yet as there are some rendering issues, and it hasn't been released in a public build yet. That experimental build should be released on Opera Labs in the near future.

Aaaaand Opera reaches 100/100 first!

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean the test has been passed 100% yet. Still,

Safari 3.1 (5525.13) scores a 75% on my Mac 10.5.2 box and not 96%.

bstoppel: Safari didn't include the latest engine when releasing Safari 3.1, for much the same reason Opera won't likely include some of these fixes in the release of Kestrel (depending when it comes out) - the code has to be heavily release and regression tested by QA. Risky changes are left out of release builds as we don't want regressions on the web. The latest nightlies of webkit were on 96% however. They are now on 98%.

Congratulations on passing the Acid3 test. See http://weblog.timaltman.com/archive/2008/03/26/the-acid3-test for a screenshot.

Turin: Opera haven't passed Acid3 yet, we've just passed the DOM part (the 100 out of 100) of the test, not the rendering part. We are close though.

Does it still make 100% after the correction to 1 of the tests the acid3 developer just made to a bug that the webkit devs found?

Looks like you and Webkit both hit 100 within minutes of each other, not sure who was 1st....
The question is, is your 100 build available for download like their nightly build is, on both Macintosh and Windows?

Regardless, congratulations and thank you for making a wonderful browser.

It would be nice if browsers included fonts for special characters such as
if they do good, but if they don't, how am I supposed to know.

I got Opera because it is 100% W3C, what's wrong with 101%
