Andy Clarke wrote this article about how to do the browser testing today, especially if you use a lot of CSS3 and html5 elements in your Website.. He’s testing the Website CannyBill which is full of the new features like “RGBa, “border radius”, “box shadows”…
And best, his short but powerful sentece: Websites should not look the same in every browser! I totally agree with Andy!!!

HTML 5 is the next version of HTML. HTML5 introduces a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern Web sites.
(HTML 5 Reference)
One really benefit of HTML 5 is the video tag. HTML 5 and the jQuery JavaScript framework gave us the tools we needed without requiring extra plugins or proprietary software to run a video on a Website.
There is a simple HTML5 demo that works in current versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome. A sample of RAD’s R&D TV with subtitles and chapter navigation. (This will not work in current versions of Internet Explorer, nor earlier versions of Firefox etc.)
This Demo plays video and audio without plugins, and allows jumping to chapters within the content.
What’s canvas?
Canvas is an html5 element that allows you to create images via javascript using a built in set of drawing methods for creating lines, fills, transformations and more. Because it’s basically just a pixel buffer, it doesn’t suffer from performance or memory consuming overhead, making it both fast and reliable.
