Acid2 Passes! Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
wow. Not that it really matters in the big picture, but OW5.5 is the first browser I've used that completely passes the Acid2 test!
 
Safari passed this test a month or two back as well. Since OmniWeb is also based on WebKit (actually, a more recent version), they are the only two browsers on any platform that can make that claim.
 
Well Nokia use WebKit on their new Phones - so they might also pass it too.
 
Shiira will also pass by virtue of the same thing - use of WebKit
 
I just visited the acid two test page
http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html

sp14 "passes", but I did note a couple of rendering problems in parts of the smiley face. What are the criteria for passing? Safari, FWIW, renders the page absolutely perfectly.

I see no rendering errors at all for SP14. It's perfect.

I have found that if you have ad blocking set to prevent inline content from third-party sites from being loaded, the Acid2 test will not render correctly. Toggling this setting allowed the Acid2 test to pass.

I just tested Opera 9, and it also passed the Acid2 test.

Firefox renders it properly about half-way. IE6 completely bombs, though! It looks like a splattered red mess with IE6.
 
Opera 9 beta passes as well (I almost hate to admit it, but I've been using Opera pretty much exclusively for a month now--it's hard not to be impressed by its speed...) If we could have OW's features and Opera's speed, man o man...

Actually, iCab has passed this test for ages, when there really was no other browser I know of that passed the test.

If you want near perfect standards compliance, use iCab. This browser even tells you if the page you are viewing is standards compliant. :-) If you want regex ad blocking and the best cookie management solution on the market, though, as is the case with me, you will have to stick with OW. ;-)
