Opera Renders Acid Test 3

Posted: March 26th, 2008 | Filed under: General | Tags: Acid Test, browsers, internet, opera

Today Opera released that they have successfully rendered the Acid 3 test. This is the first browser to correctly do so, however, It was quite a close race, Apple’s Safari development is not far behind and can correctly render 96% of the test. So far Opera only provides a screenshot of the landmark, but claims to have a development release sometime in the next week or two.

Opera states:

“Since the test was officially announced recently, our Core developers have been hard at work fixing bugs and adding the missing standards support.

Today we reached a 100% pass rate for the first time! There are some remaining issues yet to be fixed, but we hope to have those sorted out shortly.

We will release a technical preview version on labs.opera.com within the next week or so. For now, the screenshot above shows the Acid3 test as rendered in our latest WinGogi Desktop build. WinGogi is the Windows version of our reference builds used for the internal testing of Opera’s platform independent Core.”

So its not in your day to day browser just yet, but is a sure sign that it will be, very soon. Now if we could only get IE to catch up.

Current Browsers Released Stats 

Since we are on the topic of Acid Tests I figured i would put down the current percentages for Acid 2 and Acid 3 tests in a couple different browsers. Its one thing to say your browser can pass, now its time to see what the day to day browsers really can do.

Note: that all these tests were done on a Windows XP environment, I would expect the results to be the same on any linux or Mac, but sometimes these computers have minds of their own. Also IE7 is acutally IE8b rendering as IE7 so if someone with a valid IE7 is getting a different number send them my way, the same applies to sending IE6 results.

If you are running another browser that I do not have listed post the results for those browsers and I will gladly add them to this list.

Enjoy.
