How Well Your Browser Supports HTML5 (test it now)

There are many tests (for example, Acid3 tests) available for browsers to check its performance, compatibility and security, but deciding which browser is the best can get a little dicey, as each one has its own ins and outs. Here is a new test, which helps you understand how well your browser supports the new web standard HTML5.
At HTML5Test.com, you can test your browser and know how your browser scores out of a possible 450 points. Even though the HTML5 specification isn't finalized yet, all major browser developers are making sure their browser is ready for the future.

At my end, the test ends in a close finish (except IE9), with Google Chrome (ver.13) slightly ahead of Opera (V.12.0).

Chrome got 332 points out of 450, while Opera scored 301 points. Firefox (v.5.0) achieved 272 points and Internet Explorer (v.9) got 141 points.

Find out which parts of HTML5 are already supported by your browser today and compare the results with other browsers.

Disable automatic Meta refresh/redirect of websites in browser for security reasons[how to]

Generally speaking, Meta refresh is a method used by some websites to instruct a web browser to automatically refresh/redirect the current web page after a given time interval. You can see this type of refresh/redirect especially in media sites. This is some times annoying or can be used for malicious purposes by redirecting you to a malicious site. If you don’t like this feature, you can disable this in your browser. Here is how to disable this in Internet Explore/Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Internet Explorer: Go to Tools - Internet options - Security tab - Custom Level button - Miscellaneous category - set "Allow Meta refresh" to Disable. Firefox: Go to Tools - Options - Advanced - General - Accessibility and tick the option next to ‘Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page’. Alternatively you can use extension RefreshBlocker . Opera: Go to Preferences - Advanced - Network and uncheck "Enable automatic redirection".
