Acid Test 3 had repercussion in web browser community these days. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and other browsers have been constantly working hard; upgrading browsers and releasing their beta, the ultimate goal being success in Acid Test 3.

Till date, Opera and Safari(webkit engine - r31342) are only browsers to claim to have scored 100/100. But the end users of Opera and Safari is hapless. Contrarily IE8 and Firefox results are worse on the Acid3 test, with IE8 scoring 18/100 and Firefox 3 scoring 80/100.

IE8 lately passed Acid 2 and IE8 developers are working on Acid 3 test. In fact Internet Explorer 8 Beta (8.0) does better on the Acid2 test than Firefox 2 (2.0.0.12) does.
