Very Impressive Edge insider Canary Results in HTML5 Test (Plus other browsers) Comparison
So what caused the Edge insider Canary to get the score of 543 and Not the Perfect score of 555?
here is the list of features and HTML5 capabilities that are not supported (as stated by that website: https://html5test.com/ ) in the browser.
- MPEG-4 ASP support
- H.265 support
- Dynamic Adaptive Streaming / MPEG-DASH
- HTTP Live Streaming / HLS
- JPEG-XR support
- Custom content handlers
- Script execution events
- Writable streams
there are however other things that the website is failing to detect (thus marking them as unsupported) even though I enabled them using flags, such as
- Web Authentication / FIDO 2
- FileSystem API
Very helpful website to find out which technology is supported in which browsers
https://caniuse.com/#search=h.265
technologies like
- H.265 (already supported in Edge classic)
- MPEG-DASH (already supported in Edge classic)
- JPEG XR (already supported in Edge classic and Internet Explorer!)
- and it's a technology developed by Microsoft which is superior to older formats like PNG and JPG.
the thing is, Edge classic supports a set of technologies that the new Edge doesn't. on the other hand, the new Edge supports some technologies that the Edge classic doesn't. so if you merge them together you'll create the best of the both worlds browser ^^
