Acid3: Putting Browser Makers on Notice, Again. - The Web Standards Project
The Acid3 Test is designed to test specifications for Web 2.0, and exposes potential flaws in implementations of the public ECMAScript 262 and W3C Document Object Model 2 standards. Collectively known as DOM Scripting, it is these technologies that enable advanced page interactivity and power many advanced web applications such as web-based email and online office applications.

As a series of 100 mini-tests, Acid3 has already been found to expose flaws in all tested browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. WaSP hopes that Acid3 will prove useful to browser makers during the development of future versions of their products.

For your viewing (dis)pleasure, I've attached screenshots of Acid3 rendering in Firefox 3.0b4pre, IE6, Konqueror 3.5.8, Opera 9.26, and finally a shot of the reference rendering.
 
i'm more than a little concerned, i've being using Swiftweasel for a while now, but SW doesn't do well on the Acid3 test & neither does opera & konqueror dies crashes every time i start the test

i did try installing iceweasel yesterday, but, as you probably know, IW will not install because it's no longer available

BTW: i've included some screenshots of SW & opera

is there anything i need to / should be doing ?

Edit: the first screenshot (left) is in opera & the other 2 are SW

The latest beta of Opera 9.5 performs much better then the 9.2x series. Unfortunately Opera 9.5 beta is buggy as hell. It crashes at least once every day.

But the improvements in Opera 9.5 beta 1 over every other browser are such that I can put up with the unstability for now :)

That's good to hear, I've always liked Opera.
 
lol, i thought IE8 was going to standards compliant... looks like they have a lot of work to do!
 
I highly doubt that Firefox 3 will be the fastest and most standards compliant browser when the final version of Opera 9.5 is released. Reports have shown that the most recent nightly build of Opera 9.5 is a good match for Firefox 3

On a side note, Opera 9.5 for Linux, when released, should work perfectly with video plugins like Totem and Mplayer. This is one feature I have really missed, and is the only reason why I have had to resort to using Firefox for those types of websites.

Firefox is by no means a bad browser - I'd use it over everything else apart from Opera :)
