Excellent. Only problem is that Opera's market share is even less
than Safari's.
Acids and [user] bases are opposites.
OK. For those of us who are wondering what everyone in this thread is
talking about (yes, I realize its probably just me):
What the heck is acid3 or "acids"?
Also, it seems that WebKit is part of the Safari browser, kind of. Their
web site mentions that it is not a browser and can be embedded somewhere.
If I downloaded it today, how could it be useful to me? Or, what could I
use it for?
Acid 3 is an extensive test for compliance to W3C standards (ie does it
handle a CSS command correctly, does it render SVG correctly).
The huge advantage to W3C standards is that you can write your code
using the standards and count on the browsers rendering it correctly -
cross browser, cross-platform. Thus, no more "if safari, if opera, if
IE ....." hacks (unless of course you wanted to use an extra feature
solely to that browser like in an embedded device). Thus, you could
design a web page on your Mac, and know it will work okay in an office
running Fedora and Windows running Firefox or Opera (and maybe IE8 if
they finally ever decide to be W3C compliant).
The latest Acid3 numbers I've seen is Opera and Safari at 98-100%,
Firefox 3 (still in beta) at around 70-75%), I think Firefox 2 is around
40% and IE 7 at about 14%.
