Does Microsoft Edge support SVG?

Microsoft Edge natively supports SVG although it does not allow plug-ins. You can upload a SVG file to your web browser and bring it up in Microsoft Edge as shown here:

The SVG file was downloaded from this site.

With Microsoft coming out with Continuum after the debut of Windows 10 OS, SVG should be quite attractive.

Also, Firefox 42 does render it equally well.

How does the latest Firefox compare with Microsoft Edge for HTML5?

This morning a Windows 10 Update was applied. It took a while to get the computer back for working. Microsoft Edge has many neat features and it is supposed to be better designed for HTML 5  for speed and performance than the earlier browser versions. On the other hand I recently installed Firefox 42 which is also pretty good.



I just wanted to see how they compare and ran a test on this site (http://html5test.com/) for the two browsers I have on my Windows 10 Pro.

 MicrosoftEdge (EdgeHTML13.10586)

 

It appears Firefox 42.0 is quite good with a slightly (not a big difference) better rating. May be you should go to this site and check out the details.

But surely, Microsoft Edge is catching up and coming out Open.
