Opera Continues to Lead the Pack
Published March 28th, 2008 in Browser Security, Opera
The future of the web is fast approaching. The specifications for HTML 5, the successor to today’s HTML 4, are still in the draft phase, but already forward-looking browsers are starting to add limited support for HTML 5 elements. The web has grown and changed in remarkable ways since the release of HTML 4 in 1997.
No longer are sites just a loose collection static pages joined together by some hyperlinks. The web is now Ajax-powered and full of video, audio and interactive widgets. HTML 5 is an attempt to give developers a way to create pages which harness the newest technologies but still work in any browser on any platform — be it a traditional desktop, a mobile phone, a game console or (one day) even your toaster. For more background on HTML 5, check out our earlier coverage or have a look at the draft specification. HTML 5 Support by Browser: Opera Continues to Lead the Pack | Compiler from Wired.com
