>For example, Internet Explorer is the only modern Web browser that does not support Acid2.

Um, no. In fact I think only Safari and Opera support Acid2.

I fully support the guys at Opera in furthering web standards, but they should make sure what they say is factual.

From the wikipedia article that he linked:

Acid2 is supported by: - WebCore-based (Safari, OmniWeb, Shiira) - Konqueror - Prince - iCab - Presto-based (Opera, Internet Channel on Wii) - Gecko-based 1.9+ (Firefox 3 beta)

It is not supported by: - Internet Explorer - Firefox 2 (Current stable version) - NetFront (PS3 browser)

So yes, technically IE is not the only browser that doesn't support it, but they are the only browser which has said that CSS compliance is not a priority for them.

I think it's nitpicking to say that the current version of FF doesn't support Acid2. It's clear that MS doesn't care to implement CSS correctly - and they only reason they can do that is because of their extraordinary market share. That's wrong.

Firefox supports Acid2 as of 3 Beta.
