Safari 3 and the Acid2 Test

safari3_acid2.jpgSafari 2 passed the Acid2 test when it was released. It was one of the first browsers to do so (Opera might have beat Safari by a couple of months). Word hit yesterday that the IE team had their in house IE8 build pass the Acid2 test for the first time. Things are looking up for developers who support standards!

However, look at this screenshot of the Acid2 test in Safari 3.04 (both Windows and Mac). It seems that Safari is suffering a regression.

Here’s hoping the Safari team can fix this glitch quickly. I’d hate to live in a world where IE passes the Acid test, and Safari fails.
