WebKit Achieves 100/100 on Acid3 Test with Flying Colors

The people who develops Opera and WebKit are racing to pass Acid3 test. Both camps have scored 100/100 on Acid3 test. According to both Opera and WebKit camp, even though they scored 100/100, there are still some bug fixing to do.

The WebKit folks announces that WebKit achieves Acid3 100/100 in public build, today.

With r31342 WebKit has become the first publicly available rendering engine to achieve 100/100 on Acid3.

Meanwhile, Opera folks were the first to claim perfect score on Acid3 test using their internal build.

I downloaded WebKit build r31344 and ran Acid3 test on it. The video can be found here (QuickTime Movie 744KB).

WebKit Aims to Pass Acid3 Test

Flurry of “nightly builds” of WebKit were released today, and it appears that the WebKit team is aiming for a perfect score on Acid3 test. I downloaded at least five different WebKit builds today, and the latest one (build 31334) scores 99/100 on Acid3 test (QuickTime Movie 376KB). Can they make the perfect grade? I’m sure they will soon. Apparently an internal build of Opera has passed Acid3 Test.
