It isn't. HTML is not Turing-complete. It is a markup language, which describes structured data, but does not describe any dynamics of that data.

Number of transistors is not really relevant here, since it still doesn't tell us anything about how many atoms we could simulate per second. If anything, we should be rather looking at FLOPS that can be generated by a given chip.
