The first place for HTML5 support among installed web browsers on my Windows 7 OS laptop computer is Maxthon web browser. Maxthon web browser has the highest score for HTML5 tests indicating supported features and APIs. Maxthon internet browser is also the current major web browser I use while programming HTML5 apps just because of this reason.

I keep aside the Google Chrome browser Canary because it is still in beta period. But even with its beta builds, Canary even passes Maxthon and stay at first place with the highest score in HTML5 support among all browsers.

Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 HTML5 browser support test score for (IE10 final release for Windows 7)
Although Microsoft has recently released the IE10 for Windows 7, the Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 has an average HTML5 browser support test scores. Actually this result for Internet Eexplorer 10 for Windows 7 has really a dissapointing HTML5 support result for me. I was expecting a better HTML5 support and HTML5 compatibility from Internet Explorer 10 after its prerelease version has 313 points. The upgrade between prerelease and final version of Internet Explorer on Windows 7 is only from 313 to 320 points.
