Safari Leads OS X Browsers in HTML5 Capability, Firefox Disappointing
Being a big fan of HTML5 and one who believes that smartphone Web apps will get more and more competitive with single-platform dedicated apps, I try to monitor what's going on in the HTML5 universe. This morning, I took time to update the HTML5-readiness ratings on all the browsers I kept track of on OS X.
Safari 5.0.1 on my desktop scored the highest at 208 of a possible 300 points. On my iPad and iPhone, Safari and Atomic Web scored the same, 185 on iPhone and 127 on iPad.
Here are the ratings. I'm surprised how low Firefox has allowed itself to sink on this important feature set. Camino is just about to drop off my radar altogether.
Safari 5.0.1 = 208 (127 on iPad, 185 on iPhone)
Atomic Web (185 on iPhone, 127 on iPad)
Google Chrome 5.0.375.125 = 197
Opera 10.6 = 159
Firefox 3.6.6 = 139
Camino 2.0.3 = 46
