Current Web Browser HTML5 Score

[Raymond]

Although HTML5 is not common but it will the future HTML standard. This test is performed based on http://www.html5test.com/ and dated 23 August 2010. Just curious to know what browser today has the best support for HTML5 and clearly it is the beta version of Chrome 6. Firefox 3.6.8 support for HTML5 is only partial. Internet Explorer is totally hopeless

Firefox 3.6.8 - 139 (+4 bonus points)
Firefox 4.0 beta 3 - 190 (+9 bonus points)
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 - 27
Internet Explorer 9.0.7916.6000 - 96 (+3 bonus points)
Opera 10.61 build 3484 - 159 (+7 bonus points)
Opera 10.70 build 3488 - 159 (+7 bonus points)
Chrome 5.0.375.127 - 197 (+7 bonus points)
Chrome 6.0.472.41 - 217 (+10 bonus points)
Safari 5.0.1 7533.17.8 - 207 (+7 bonus points)

Thanks Raymond. I didn't realize the support for HTML 5 was that spotty. I'm looking forward to not have to code for IE and/or everything else.

The reason I tested this is because of today's article on ThinVNC.
ThinVNC client requires HTML5 browser, although Firefox works but there are problems when comes to scaling. It's probably the web browser itself that is lacking of HTML5 support, that explains the problem.

Thank you Ray for testing and posting the results here. I was thinking to do a test myself but now it's obvious who is the winner. Despite of the results I'm not gonna change my default web browser (Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8) for Chrome 6 cause it crashes a lot.

Safari disappointed me. I was expecting more form it since it was one of the first who adopted HTML5.

I'm using Firefox 4.0 beta 3 as my default browser nowadays....at least it's second place with it's (+9 bonus points). I'm not complaining
