Recently I posted about some of the new features of HTML5 and CSS3 as showcased over at apple.com. While digging a bit deaper into what HTML5 can do I came across http://www.html5test.com which gives your web browser a score out of 300 depending on how many HTML5 features it supports.
I thought I’d give it a go on all the browsers I have installed on my PC to see which is really the best.
I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) with the following browser versions
- Firefox 3.6.3
- Opera 10.52 (build 3370)
- Safari 4.0.5 (531.22.7)
- Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385
- Google Chrome 5.0.375.70
Here are the results I got
Google Chrome
Firefox
Opera
Safari
Internet Explorer (as IE8 and IE7)
And just for good measure, I thought it would be interesting to see what result I get on my Blackberry Curve 8900

Google Chrome is the clear winner (so far) but being a long time Firefox user, I think the score is high enough to keep me from switching permanently just yet. Maybe the new Internet Explorer 9 will change things?
