The logo and share icons don't move with the horizontal scrollbar. Ouch.

Edit: The colouring of the column headers messes with my eyes. They ignore the white and focus on the gray.

Edit 2: position: fixed is hardly HTML5, even if it's something quite a few mobile browsers didn't support in the past.

Interesting information but whatever they were trying to do with the HTML5 logo ruins the experience.

I appreciate getting support information out there but don't take "supported" to mean "always works as expected". The primary example here is position fixed support which is _extremely_ broken in Android 3.1-4.0 on orientation change.

WebSQL should not be used under any circumstances. Instead use IndexedDB with this shim: http://nparashuram.com/IndexedDBShim/

Also, Chrome support for IndexedDB should have an asterisks as it implements an outdated version of the spec.

"Don't use WebSQL, use IndexedDB. It doesn't work correctly in Chrome."

Don't get me wrong, I know what you're saying and why. Just the juxtaposition of the two statements is noteworthy.

The Firefox column is based on Firefox 12. The current version (Firefox 14) adds support for the FullScreen API, and Firefox 15 beta has support for remote debugging. getUserMedia is also coming soon.
