Safari/Webkit Nightly scores a 90 on Acid 3 test …

March 7th, 2008

I am  a huge fan of Safari and Webkit … what it lacks in cool features, it more than makes up for in blazing fast speed and javascript performance.

When the Microsoft released a beta for IE8, I was prompted to run the Acid3 test on the browsers I had on my system.

Here are the results I got on my windows box, testing all the installed browsers against Acid 3

[I got the Safari seed off the Apple Developer Connection]

Safari (seed 31A15) ……………………………… 76

Opera 9.50 build 9613 ………………………… 65

Opera 9.50 build 9815 ………………………… 60

Firefox 3 beta 3 ………………………………….. 47

IE 7 …………………………………………………….. 12

I posted this on an Apple Discussion board and was told by a member to test the latest nightly (30881) … which I did.

The result?
