Doing a quick test of the major browsers (on OSX Snow Leopard) and of the 160 HTML5 features tested these are the scores: Chrome 5.0.342.9b 137 Safari 4.0.5 113 (this is the score I got on Chrome Windows which suggests an older version of Webkit) Opera 10.10 38 (I expected much better from Opera as [...]
