How Modern Is Your Browser?
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects your browser’s support for the latest CSS & HTML5 features. You can get an instant visual display of how your browser stacks up by going to findmebyip.com and glancing at the list. I tested a number of browsers and got the following ranking, from most modern to least:
- Safari 4.0.3 (Mac and Win) and Google Chrome Win tied for first, supporting all but one of the 20 features in the list
- Google Chrome Mac came second, supporting all but three
- Firefox 3.5.3 Mac supports 12 of the 20 features
- Firefox 3.0.14 Win supports 6 of the 20 features
- Opera 10 Win & Mac both support 5
- IE 8 & 7 & 6 all support 1
Once again, Microsoft has the best browsers! (cough)
