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?

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!

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
