For example: - using 'display' is way better than using 'visibility' - are your the filter chains optimal? I.e. using only as many steps as required, and limiting the filter region using x,y,width,height on the filter element? - do animations run endlessly?

Sure, remove the filters (which webkit ignores) and you can expect the same in Opera too. ... > When tested with Firefox: > > What test? Has no support for SVG fonts, SMIL animation or > filters.

Though your best bet for making it work in the current generation of browsers will involve making different design choices, for example not using SVGFonts, and perhaps using javascript for animations (though FakeSMILe is an option if you prefer to keep the declarative animations there and still have it work in FF and Safari).
