Internet Explorer 9 is announced to be a browser worthy of competing with Firefox, Opera and Safari, but this result should not be an oxygen bubble for Microsoft. The new Safari 5.0.1 has a score of 100/100 on Acid3, and until Safari reached this performance, Opera stayed for a long time top Acid with 100/100. I remember that a few years ago, the authentication on sedo.com it was only allowed with Opera Browser. At that time it was the only browser that met the conditions of web security imposed by Sedo.
