In fact as I write this there is a comment with a link in it and in the recent comments widgets (top left) the links text ends up overlapping the main content. In IE the text goes behind the main content and in Firefox & Opera it wraps. Passing the ACID3 test does not mean you render everything perfectly it just means you went out of your way to make it support the technology used in the ACID3 test. As to Firefox being a memory hog and Safari being brilliant you must be the only person to find this as Firefox 3.5 has excellent memory management thanks to Tracemonkey and Safari 4’s memory management on Windows is terrible. http://www.favbrowser.com/browser-memory-ram-usage-firefox-35-rc-safari-4-opera-10-beta-google-chrome-30-dev/ is a good read.

WebKit is the most accurate rendering engine out there. Even Firefox 3.5 doesn't pass ACID3. Firefox is the memory hog, and Gecko is a convoluted mess. It also spins up my laptop's fans where Safari doesn't. “the rendering engine, WebKit, is far from perfect”
