So in this article, I am going to explain whether this query is HTML5 compatible with older browsers or not. so stick to the end of this article for detailed information.
So, is Html5 compatible with older browsers? the answer is no if we run the Html 5 code within our modern browsers then it will work in a good manner but in some old browsers, this version of HTML not works. Some tags of HTML 5 might be worked on these browsers but some special tags like canvas, audio, and video do not work on the old browsers. For instance, if you take an example of the Safari web browser then we will notice that the 15th and 14th version of the Safari web browser very successfully runs the Html5 code but its previous version such as Safari 5, Safari 6 will be unable to run the Html5 code.

So you can write code in HTML5 and easily Run that within the Google Chrome web browser.
