Test Your Browser... HTML5test.com

Hi there.. it has been a while since i was on and I missed it alot. Enough of that! Onto browser testing...

Go to html5test.com and you will be presented with a page telling you how well your browser can handle HTML version 5. Why would you want your browser to handle html 5? Well version 5 supports alot of things that make your web experience better... alot better when it is implemented.

So on my computer I have Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome... I have not updated all of the browsers yet and I have run the test to see how they do before and after latest versions of the browser. Now remember the following... these marks are out of 500... ahem Microsoft....

I don't know what version exactly this is.. What is Version compared to Update Version? Stupid Microsoft!



  • Microsoft Internet Explorer v9 - 138 plus 10 bonus points!
  • Mozilla Firefox v16.0.2 - This got 372 plus 10 bonus points.
  • Google Chrome Version 25.0.1364.152 m 463 plus 10 bonus points 
Microsoft Internet Explorer v9 - 138 plus 10 bonus points!
Damn thats kinda crap! Microsoft really bad...
Mozilla Firefox v16.0.2 - This got 372 plus 10 bonus points.

Firefox did ok....

Google Chrome Version 25.0.1364.152 m 463 plus 10 bonus points 

Google Chrome did very well...

So then I attempted to update the 3 tested browsers again to see what would happen... lets see if the scores improved or got worse!

Before

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer v9 - 138 plus 10 bonus points!
  • Mozilla Firefox v16.0.2 - This got 372 plus 10 bonus points.
  • Google Chrome Version 25.0.1364.152 m 463 plus 10 bonus points
  • Google Chrome on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Android version 4.1.2  - 417 plus 11 bonus points.

After

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer v9 - Do not know how to update browser easily.. fail again MS
  • Mozilla Firefox v19.0.2 - This got 393 plus 10 bonus points. - Up 21 points!
  • Google Chrome Version 25.0.1364.160 m 463 plus 10 bonus points - Same score...
  • Google Chrome on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Android version 4.1.2 - Didn't test yet...

Conclusion...
Keep your browsers up to date.. this test shows how updating can be very useful .. not only from the obvious security point of view but also from the experience you will get from your daily browsing...
