And They're Off

The ACID3 race has begun. Coming around the first lap…

Firefox 3 is in first place, with a comendable lead. Way to burn up the track, foxy!

Coming up from behind, we find the ACID crowd favorite, *Opera!

Winded, but still giving it all she's got…Safari! (Is that a picture of a cat?)

And in the tail position, dragging, but not dead yet…IE!

You shouldn't compare final releases with beta versions

The Opera 9.5 public test builds already score a higher number. Though it should also be noted that there is more than the number to look after. For example, the text 'Acid 3' shows red in the non-Firefox browsers because they accept style sheets served with the text/html mime type.

Oh but it's all fun, Rijk.

On my next foray, I'll make sure to run the test with the latest beta builds of all the products.

update

I tried it with the 9.5 beta and it leaps ahead. Better yet, you fixed the SVG gradient problem!

FF2 has the cat pics, too. I'm not sure why that's there, but it's hilarious to see such an image in your failing browser.

It's definitely eye catching.
