THE HTML5 TEST

My scores on XP/32 SP3:

154 +3 Comodo Dragon 4.1.1.12

139 +4 Firefox 3.6.4

129 +4 Opera 10.54

27 +0 IE 8.0

2

Same for Firefox (obviously) but didn’t get anything first time round with NoScript enabled, couldn’t run the test ;D

Good lord IE8 is so far behind, no wonder they are touting IE9 already, which won’t work with XP anyway ;D

3

Sorry I forgot to mention enabling NS in FF for the test. :-[

MS is so busy patching the holes in IE8 that they don’t have time
to bring it up to 2010 standards. ;D

4

The test is pointless because almost nobody is actually using HTML5 anyway.

5

SeaMonkey: 126 and 4 bonus points.

Not good, eh?

6

But not real bad either :slight_smile:

Safari might land a good score if someone tried it.

7

MSIE 8: 27 and no bonus points

8

+1

9

I have 199+9 bonus points on Firefox Minefield/3.7a6pre ;D

10

Opera 10.60 Beta Build 3422

159 + 7 bonus points

Safari 5

165 + 0 bonus points ( not much as expected :P)

Mozilla Minefield latest build 25 June 10

189 + 9 bonus points

Internet Explorer 9

84 + 1 bonus points

I use HTML 5 on Youtube

Did either of you two stop and think why all these browsers developers are bothering to make their browsers HTML5 compliant?

IE9 Platform Preview 3 Marches to the Standards Beat
posted by Kroc Camen on Sat 26th Jun 2010 10:48 UTC

Microsoft have released IE9 Platform Preview 3, an application that gives developers access to the IE9 rendering engine (it’s not a full browser). In this update they have added hardware accelerated HTML5 Video, Canvas, Fonts (using WOFF) and big improvements in JavaScript with ES5, DOM Traversal, L2 and L3 events and 83/100 Acid3 score. It sits between Firefox and Chrome 6 on JavaScript speed, but outperforms every browser in real tests.

That I believe is the whole point of FWFs comment, “think why all these browsers developers are bothering to make their browsers HTML5 compliant.”

Its called preparation for new standards compliance and as such the test shows users what browsers support the new HTML5 standard as and when it is more readily used. So as such hardly a pointless test, the point FWF was I believe making.

14

Exactly. When browsers are reasonably compliant, web developers will start to use HTML5.

15

The word standard means something in common usage and employed by the majority. HTML5 is not a standard yet, it is a wish. Having said that, IE9 already has incorporated most of the elements of it and is promising to be the most “standards compliant” browser when it is released, even if the “standards” are not actually standard yet.

Hi :slight_smile:

My scores

Flock: 46+0
Mozilla: 139+4
IE8: 27+0

17

I didn’t use the word standard, but the word standards.

It is wc3 org (http://www.w3.org/) that set the standards; it sets the structure for the HTML5 (as was done many years ago with HTML4). This allows browser developers elect to comply with those standards in their browser development and also allows for web site designers to design sites to those standards.

Hi DavidR,

And what about the IE8 browser users on XP SP3 that cannot migrate to a browser with more than 20 odd points?
They have to migrate to GoogleChrome to enjoy the HTML5 goodies. Did I get that right? Time for the Google OS,

Congrats, Soure73. You and Firefox Minefield/3.7a6pre have the highest score so far with 199+9.
