How sad for Opera since they only had one more bug to fix…

Just imagine how nice life would be for us web developers if all browsers were standards compliant???

Well, at least now there’s some discussion about standards, which didn’t seem to happen a while ago. This is already one good step forward.

Although sometimes I wish we could recycle the internet: for a minute, we would go back to Tim Berners-Lee first page – no fancy colour schemes whatsoever – and then we could start from scratch.

That would be fun.

IE 7 wont pass the acid2 test, that is for sure. It hasn’t even been released and we already know that it will be behind in many things compared to other browsers. Like SVG and Canvas support (now also in Opera).

Opera 9 is also quite close to passing, and I’m sure that the Mozilla team is working on it too. If these two finish, then IE will be left as the only one. :p

How ironic. The Safari browser, on an operating system with about a 3% market share passes the Acid2 test.

IE, with an 80%+ market share can’t pass the Acid0.0001 test. Ugh.

Just imagine how nice life would be for us web developers if all browsers were standards compliant???

Andrew, from the comments in the list of fixes:

The specifics of the nose size depend on undefined behavior, as also noted by Opera. Both renderings are considered correct, according to the author of the test.

In other words, when it comes to the nose, the CSS specification does not dictate which is correct: the reference rendering or Safari 2.0.2's rendering -- so both are considered correct.

[...] Jak podaje SitePoint przeglądarka Safari 2.0.2 dla Mac OS X 10.4.3 jako pierwsza oficjalnie przeszła ciężki test zgodności z sieciowymi standardami. Inne Mac’owe przeglądarki takie jak iCab i Konqueror również uważane są za zgodne, ale nie zostało to potwierdzone oficjalnie. Test Acid2 znajduje się na stronie webstandards.org, poświęconej sieciowym standardom. Test polega na sprawdzeniu zgodności z podstawowymi elementami stron WWW, takimi jak: html4, CSS 1, przeźroczyste obrazki PNG oraz data URL. [...]
