Opera was also the 2nd browser to pass Acid2 (2 years ahead of Mozilla!) and as things are looking at the moment, it's going to be so for Acid3 as well.

There's the build of WinGOGI with 100/100 support around, but for mainstream support it might be a while before 10 is out. Most of Opera’s efforts towards Acid 3 have gone into Opera 10.

Acid3, similarly to Acid2 test, plays a very big role in browser rendering. As the tests are put together in respect to open standards, passing it is of most importance, especially for the developers. In addition, as WebKit passed Acid3 fully for the first time last week, it was preceded by a sequence of very important developments, e.g. enhanced JavaScript and CSS3 support. These can't be considered meaningless.

Acid3, similarly to Acid2 test, plays a very big role in browser rendering. As the tests are put together in respect to open standards, passing it is of most importance, especially for the developers.

In addition, as WebKit passed Acid3 fully for the first time last week, it was preceded by a sequence of very important developments, e.g. enhanced JavaScript and CSS3 support. These can’t be considered meaningless.

To name a few:

  1. CSS3 transforms
  2. CSS3 Web Fonts support
  3. CSS transitions
  4. JavaScript getElementsByClassName
  5. W3C Selectors API

For the comparison Internet Explorer 8 is yet to pass Acid2 and as we all know, IE is not CSS 2.1 compliant nor is there any hope for CSS3 support. So the Acid test very much reflects the capabilities of the particular platform.
