Hyatt blogging Safari Acid2 test progress
Dave Hyatt—former Mozilla engineer, developer of XUL, now Apple Safari engineer—has for a while been showing and discussing his progress in modifying Safari to comply with the Acid2 Test [click to see how your browser renders this complex test of Web standards compliance and how it should].
Safari, which has long had better (partial) CSS-3 support than most/all other browsers, looks like it has the potential to become the most current- and future-standards compliant browser in the world.

Do you know of any (current) browser to pass the test? I tried with:
Firefox 1.0.3 and
Safari 1.3 (v312)
and neither passed (Firefox was slightly better).

As far as I know, no browser can yet pass it. It’d definitely be a point of pride to whichever team passes it first in a general release build of their browser.

OS X 10.4.3 now comes with Safari 2.0.2 which has the Acid2 enhancements, and I can confirm that it does pass the test.
Yay!
