I have read quite a few of the comments, and it seems people think it best not to switch to developing in html 5 until more browsers support it, but there a old saying that if you want to get change you have to takea risk, personally i am only developing in html 5 it is far superior than html 4.01

oh and microsoft fan boy not hard to guess who you support, and you took a count at the vulnerabilities in IE? it makes chrome look like fort knox, there nothing wrong with you personally liking IE as a browser it is ok but it is lagging behind on CSS for years so why would they suddenly take html 5 seriously?

but we should all be pressing the developers of the browsers to support all html 5 features and as website developers punish the ones that dnt support the features we want by putting code in to detect the browser and inform the visitor the browser there using does not support html 5 properly so as such will not get the best experience and promote the better ones which as far as i know are safari, chrome, and firefox

You are using Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.8.2

I suppose your mileage will vary.

For the not-so-smart-so-called developers that don’t like closed-sourced material, have fun protecting your work.

Security is most important.
Its not only about credit cards issue and othrt criminal activity. Its also about gathering information about you by big corporations. If you dont respect your privacy – your will, but that is just not wise.
Thats why chrome is worst, overall.

Comment on HTML5 Video – Should I Use It? by Pierre

HTML5 is awesome, but the video thing it’s really annoying. Even youtube, with Chrome, the usability of video is awful. It’s terrible idea rely only on html5 to render videos.

Even though this thread is now a few years old, it still made me laugh hard. You HTML5 sheep really sound like fools. Many simpleton assertions like “You don’t need to get any plugin to use HTML5, it just works out of the box”. I’m sure that is a non-stop laugh riot for people who are in the unfortunate situation of having to develop primitive “solutions” in HTML5 because their employer drank the anti-Flash Kool-aid. Here we are in 2012 and HTML5 remains an unfinished spec, with the major browsers typically supporting this said ‘standard’ in non-standard ways. History repeats itself. Nothing has changed folks, if you have been a web developer for the past 15 years, then you know what I am saying here. Not to mention things like webgl not being supported on mobile safari. You think that is an accident? Please, the major players here want to be the toll collectors(think app stores), that is why they are pimping HTML5 (and trying to kill Flash), since that will keep the content in the web browsers limited. Why? And you all bought into it under the guise of the “open web”……..

> First off the first test of a browser would be: Is it secure,

No, it’s not. This self-important obsession with “security” routinely causes the misdirection of effort and resources. Being secure is good, but in the real world your information isn’t that important, and people don’t really care about you at all.

Most credit card info is stolen en masse from organizations, not off of individual machines…and nothing else about you matters to anyone enough to steal it.

What’s important is stability, speed, and how forgiving and accurate the browser is in rendering code. IE is pretty good with being forgiving, and Firefox has actually gotten slower and less stable, so that it’s now the worst of the three major browsers, but Chrome is the best, overall.
