The score given below indicate how well the browser support various HTML5 specifications. The bonus points indicate how well the browser handled some of the video/audio codecs and few other new features. The bonus points are not included in the score since those features are not part of the official HTML 5 specifications.
Here is the result of my Html5 compatibility test:
Browser Name | Compatibility Score | Bonus Score |
Google Chrome | 293 | 13 |
Opera | 258 | 7 |
FireFox | 255 | 9 |
Safari | 187 | 0 |
Internet Explorer | 130 | 5 |
You can see that Google Chrome offers the best support for Html5 at this time (June 2011). Internet Explorer 9.0 performs very poor according to the compatibility test by Html5Test.
The compatibility test is not a comprehensive test. This test does not cover all aspects of Html 5 and but is sure to give a rough idea of the level of support available in various browsers. But this test will surely give you some idea on the level of support in each of the browsers.
If you are planning to learn HTML5, your best bet at this time is to use Google Chrome browser for testing.
