According to results released by the Worldwide Web Consortium, Microsoft's latest Internet Explorer 9 Beta ranks the highest when it comes to HTML5 conformance.

Seven features have been tested, as shown above. The full breakdown Link Removed - Invalid URL. Do note that: one, this is the first official HTML5 test; two, the HTML5 spec has not be finalized; three, neither does the conformance test cover the full HTML5 spec.
Internet Explorer 9 Beta ranked second in an early HTML5 performance benchmarking, just right behind Firefox, and well ahead of the rest of the pack. IE9 Beta then went on to score 95/100 on the Acid3 test. And now, IE9 tops the HTML5 conformance chart. While such a fine showing so far does not warrant a 'must switch' to IE9, we are pretty sure the upcoming browser's fan base is growing.

  • HTML5 Spec Status: It's mentioned that this is the first official HTML5 test, and the HTML5 specification was not finalized at that time.
  • Performance Benchmark: In early HTML5 performance benchmarking, Internet Explorer 9 Beta was positioned just behind Firefox and notably ahead of other browsers.
  • Acid3 Test: Internet Explorer 9 Beta achieved a score of 95/100 on the Acid3 test, indicating its compliance with web standards.
  • Growing Fan Base: Despite the positive performance indicators, the outcome did not necessarily mandate an immediate switch to IE9, but it indicated a growing fan base for the upcoming browser.
Given the dynamic nature of technology and web standards, it's important to note that this information may be outdated, as Internet Explorer as a browser has been gradually phased out in favor of Microsoft Edge. If you have any current inquiries or need assistance with browser choices or web standards, feel free to ask!
