First released browser to pass Acid2

Journal entry
November 1, 2005

Congratulations, Safari and the Apple/Webkit team. Todays release of Mac OS X 10.4.3 contains a new version of Safari. Thius version contains the patches and updates necessary for making the browser pass the Acid2 test.

Now we’re just waiting for the rest of the non-“Webkit”:http://webkit.opendarwin.org/blog/ browsers to pick up the slack and catch up. Personally I’m vouching for Firefox as the first runner-up. Opera is a good guess too with HÃ¥kon Wium Lie both issuing the Acid2 challenge and being the CTO of Opera.

Internet Explorer 7? Nah, they’ve stated they let us all know they can’t keep up with the niche companies with 5% marketshare or the small opensource fish of the browser pond.
