So, how would a novice like me go about doing that?

**BigwhiteUK** · 11-04-2012, 06:11 AM

Browser - Settings - General - Search Engine - drop down box and select Bing

**jamesharmeling** · 11-04-2012, 06:20 AM

I get a 396 no matter which browser I use.

In the tablet section, it is said that the upcoming bb10 will score 487.
Did anyone test the maxthon browser on his pc? Apparently it is the best browser to date (on paper).

Did you by chance go from 2.0 to 2.1 since October 3?

411 is the score for the 2.1 browser regardless of search engine.

**jamesharmeling** · 11-04-2012, 08:45 AM

Just got a 415 + 9 using Simple Browser.

search engine doesnt matter. all versions of the .1088 should read the exact same.

I had all kinds of browser lags, and keyboard lags... I dunno what I did.. it mighta been the fact that I set my wifi router to aes security, when I had it set as tkip previously... I dunno but I'm liking it.

Keeping in mind that html5 text score is about compliance to html5 standard, not performance. The higher the score, the more html5 websites the browser can render successfully.

And rendering successfully doesn't mean rendering fast. Personally I would much rather have a fast rendering engine than a fully compliant engine.

I might be missing something, but what "search engine setting" has to do with html5 performance?

I mean all it does it; when I enter "test" in the address bar. it will change that to (sample URLs taken from chrome on PC).

http://www.bing.com/search?q=test&go...=8-4&sp=-1&sk=
instead of
https://www.google.com/search?q=test...hrome&ie=UTF-8

+1, the page itself says that

"The HTML5 test score is an indication of how well your browser supports the upcoming HTML5 standard and related specifications."
