    Google Chrome is based on the historic build of WebKit. So no wonder it doesn’t pass.

    WebKit itself passed Acid3 fully for the first time on Friday. So it’s 100 subtests of 100 passed now.

    Opera 9.60 Beta scored 85.

    Safari 4 does 100% of the acid3 test

    Opera 10 Beta build 1551 got a 100/100 and is super fast
