Acid3 race in full swing, Opera overtakes Safari

enemi writes: Few days after Safari released version 3.1, Opera employee David Storey writes on his blog they overtook Apple's browser in the Acid3 test. In the race to being the first to reach the reference rendering, Opera's software leads now with 98%, closely following them Safari with 96% and Firefox 3 beta 4 with 71%. He also noted the implemented features will not make a public appearance in the following weeks, because they are getting close to releasing Opera 9.5, that's been under public testing since September and the new CSS3 color modes and font rendering features might further delay this. They will probably show the score in a preview build soon and wait for a post 9.5 stable build to release the new features to the public.
