To pass Acid3 you need SMIL support, WebKit does have support for that, but it was turned off because it was buggy.

If they can get it working and stable for the 3.1 release, then great, but I'd rather Safari fail the test than have a buggy implementation in a shipping release.

I hope IE8 get anywhere between 50 - 60 when its release.....

I hope it gets with the times and goes for 100% on release. We're talking about Microsoft, a company with huge resources and with the dominant market position - they need to lead the web development, not hold it back. It's all very well having Opera, Firefox and Safari all passing Acid3 but if IE doesn't then it's of little use.

So basically what we are looking at is:

Safari (Mac) - 85ish

Firefox3 - 70ish

Safari (Win) - 60ish

Firefox2 - 55ish

IE7 - 15ish

IE6 - 10ish

How does IE8 perform?

Safari (Win) gets the same score if you test the same versions.

What you should be saying is Safari 3.0.5 is 60ish, and the nightlies (pre3.1) are up to 85-90.

Here's a couple from MobileSafari

The higher score (39/100) took a while but it eventually got there. This is MobileSafari on an iPod but I assume it's the same as the iPhone version. Wonder what sort of nightly options are out there for Mobile err, WebKit.

When the 2.0 firmware starts getting installed somebody should do the test again, it's synced back with the desktop version.

Safari for Windows with latest nightlies installed scores an impressive 90/100!

I have the 3.1 (525.6) build right now, which build do you have, and can I get a link to it? I've heard that newer builds have problems with cookies though, :|

WebKit's a separate component, so as long as a API's the same, you can swap out different versions.

EDIT1: I will update you with what version I have.

EDIT2: Getting 90 with Version 3.0.4 (523.15)

Seems it is an older version than yours. How do you get version 3.1?

So how does one update a nightly build of Safari Win32 with the WebKit, just throw everything into the Safari folder or?

EDIT: I will update you with what version I have.

Alright :)

What you do is unzip the webkit nightly and then open the run-nightly-webkit application. It will update automatically then!

Anyways... I updated you with my version and I am getting 90/100!

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
