As you may or may not know about, Acid3 has been released a couple of days ago. Just like Acid2, Acid3 is released during the fine-tuning of the latest Gecko engine (1.9), so it won't make Firefox 3. It will however make Gecko 2's release - which will be integrated into Firefox 4. Let's hope Acid4's release will be nicer with Mozilla. The WebKit guys (WebKit is use are doing an amazing fast-paced development on the bug, and I'm glad to see that. Hopefully, Safari will soon be Acid3-compliant. As for the IE team, I wish them luck and hope IE8b1's rendering is not nearly as bad as IE7's. Oh, yeah, IE8 beta1 is available for download as of today if you haven't heard yet. I'm personally glad - I'll be able to tell off fanboys that want my sites to be IE-compatible. What else.

PS: While we're talking about future browsers, it's probably worth mentioning that the about:memory core just got finished in Firefox 3 trunk. Here is an early screenshot of what it should look like when it's done. Should rejoice all the performancecheck addicts.
