100/100 points are really good, but does it *really* pass the whole test? I didn't check, so I'm asking..
For really passing the test, not only 100/100 points have to be reached, but also the animation as to be smooth and the final picture has to be pixel by pixel identical to the reference picture.

Well the animation was pretty smooth last time I ran the check (this was on my SAM).
The result isn't identical to the reference picture though. For one thing there's that red X thing in the top right corner which shouldn't be there and also the "Acid3" is in red while it should be in black. Otherwise the result is identical as far as I can tell.
This is about WebKit (and its graphics/fonts/... backends) being compliant... Sandlabs or OWB porters don't have much to do with that result, actually (IIRC the only fix I had to do to reach 100 was to fix the base64 decoder).
And Chrome or safari should also reach 100 anyway. Also, this doesn't cover the whole browser compliance. WebKit is often tested against this acid3 test, but in the meanwhile, it also fails to render properly many other things (often more simple).
And at last, for the user experience, I'd say it's way preferrable to have a feature-rich browser reaching only 50/100 (good history support, url completion, bookmarks, dl manager, whatever) than having a feature-less very compliant browser.

The AmigaOS port of OWB doesn't use one of the WebKit or OWB font implementations but an AmigaOS 4.x one I implemented myself and for example at the time I added it support for text shadow, which is required for the ACID3 test as well, it didn't exist in the other OWB font implementations yet.

You should check again what you copied from the AmigaOS 4.x parts (Could be that I added some of the bugfixes to the SVN outside of #if PLATFORM(AMIGAOS4) parts, though.) There was not only one bug but 3 bugs I had to fix to get 100/100, the broken base64 decoding was only one part of it. Additionally it didn't skip non-printable chars (CR, LF, spaces, etc.) in data: URLs correctly, and it used a wrong encoding somewhere. Only after fixing all 3 bugs OWB reached 100/100 instead of 98/100 (only the Gtk port got 100/100 earlier since it's using some glib functions instead). IIRC one of these 3 bugfixes was only required in old versions and got obsolte with some WebKit merges about 6 or 9 months ago.

Too right Elwood... btw, did you hear something? guess it was the mice... LOL

Try running FireFox on a 667 Mhz PC. Better comparison: try using Safari or FireFox on 700 Mhz PowerMac and tell me it's not sluggish and annoying (and remember that the G3 havec L2 cache, which the 440ep doesn't).
You could tell me : yes, but Ibrowse is fatser. Yes, Lynx too (under Linux on a slow computer) but you cannot do all what you do with a recent browser.
Whatever, since the coming of OWB, I must confess that I never turn on the Linux PC I als own.
I'm pretty sure that thanks to OWB, stats regarding AmigaOS as Operating System used to surf the web must have increased.
Is the snapshot Murakami provided the latest release? In that case you can ignore the GUI request I PMed you
It looks way nicer with the adress/search inputs horisontally centered to the toolbar. Or was this always there, configurable? I requested it because I saw an older screenshot of them not centered.. Anyway a mute request now I see.. Nice work!
