Isn't it strange that Chrome is lagging behind in SVG support?

  Why does anyone think Chrome is lagging behind? http://caniuse.com/#search=svg http://caniuse.com/#search=svg

    That chart is misleading. V8 supports (and has supported it for a long time) the vast majority of ES5. Since version 13 it's supported every ES5 features with the exception of Zero-width chars in identifiers, and I don't know when, but it was implemented somewhere between 16 and 23. http://kangax.github.com/es5-compat-table/ http://kangax.github.com/es5-compat-table/

      Webkit does support SVG filters but there is a bug which prevents displaying the filters when embedded in HTML.

  Yeah, Webkit support is disappointing. As mentioned in the article that is mostly because of a bug that prevents many effects from being rendered when used in an HTML document. Opening SVG files in a new window will render those effects correctly. But because no user will ever do that those effects are effectively broken.

    Filters render just fine for me in embedded SVG files (I'm using direct embedding via <svg> tag in HTML5 documents). Not all primitives are fully implemented, but performance is definitely better than in Firefox. IE9 does not support filter effects at all, I don't see how WebKit is "lagging" here.
