Kelson,

Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot about those two browsers.

Updated post.

Nice to see some progress! I don’t expect much in IE 7 or Firefox 1.5 (I think all the Acid2 work is slated for FF 2.0), but between Opera and Safari, it’ll be great to start seeing these fixes work their way into releases that are actually in use.

A point of correction: Since internal Safari builds passed Acid2 in April, Konqueror and iCab have also passed it. iCab actually beat Konqueror for second place by a matter of days.

The Konqueror fixes are still only on the development tree (just like Safari, though they had to implement a lot of the fixes from scratch since the KHTML and WebCore codebases have diverged quite a bit), but the iCab fixes are in the latest public beta. AFAIK it’s still the only Acid2-compliant browser you can just download and run.

What’s an internal build?

An internal build of Opera is a new working version of Opera that is only available internally to the Opera company — i.e. it has not been released yet to the public.

Sorry, for not pointing that out.
