So who’s next? Well, Opera 9 beta 1 is very close—there’s a pair of red squares that should be black, but that’s it. Neither IE7 nor Firefox 1.5 will have much in the way of Acid2-related fixes, though the trunk builds of Firefox show improvement, so 2.0 has a chance 3.0 might make it will pass (since 2.0 will use the same engine as 1.5).
Hey! iCab 3.0b does a great job, but i does NOT pass the test. Close doesn’t count in this test.
iCab 3.0b does pass the test. Why do you think it does not?
Well, obviously the white line was related to a prefs bug. The iCab 3.0 beta actually do pass the test. My bad.
