New WebKit tests

I have updated the WebKit comparison table with data from Safari 5, Chrome 5, and Android 2.1. Improvements throughout!

The top five WebKit browsers according to these tests are now:

Chrome 5
Safari 5
Safari 4
Samsung WebKit (on bada)
Android 2.1

Interesting findings:

Chrome and Android now support localStorage (Safari already did).
Chrome and Android now support geolocation. Safari does in theory, but it doesn’t give the actual coordinates, making the whole exercise a bit pointless.
Chrome and Android now support appcache (Safari already did).
Chrone and Safari now support elementFromPoint correctly (i.e. with clientX/Y instead of pageX/Y). Android doesn’t.

Chrone? :-p

Any consideration towards adding info on HTML5 video to the Great Webkit Comparison Table?

How does Android 2.2 stack up?
