    Both Opera and the latest version of WebKit (rendering engine for Safari) have passed the Acid3 test, or at least with their bleeding edge development browsers. The Acid3 test is a follow on from the Acid2 test which was passed by Opera and WebKit quite some time ago and has been passed by the beta version of Firefox 3.0 (only IE is yet to pass it with a public release).

A few tests also concern Scalable Vector Graphics, XML and data: URIs. Only elements from specifications as of 2004 are included.[3] Acid3 test reports:Opera WebKit

Where’s my .NET 3.5 (on IIS), Dude? The not so obvious ‘problem’ is that if you fire up a machine that has .NET 3.5 installed, you might be surprised to find that the IIS service panel’s ASP.NET does not show an option to select the .NET Runtime of 3.5. Opera and WebKit pass Acid3 test The latest builds from Opera and WebKit are scoring a perfect 100/100 on the Acid3 test. Wow! Where is Firefox on Acid 3? Here.
