If it does better than FF, it's going to pass Acid 2, I'll check tommorow.

Acid3 and Acid2 are completely different tests. It does Acid3 better than Firefox but does Acid2 slightly worse.

I'm surprised it doesn't pass either, to be honest, since it's built on WebKit (which is pretty much the most standards-compliant rendering engine out there, and the nightly builds pass both already).

One thing in favor of Chrome, though… it's extremely fast. And I mean faster than IE even.

Plus it's also built off of FF.

Wikipedia's not that reliable where you can believe everything it says.

I'll stick to Firefox 3. It's quick, I can trust FF3, more than IE.

It might have some code from Firefox here and there, but it kind of got its rendering engine from Safari so it's more accurate to say "built off Safari"
