The problem isn't your browsers, it's us. See https://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=60399 .

No one is more sorry than I am. I miss its terse output that I much prefer over the W3C validator's more verbose blah blah. But, the W3C validator does HTML 5. Which the one on our site cannot do, ever. Since it's a real validator and needs a doctype definition and there is none for HTML 5.

Here's the URL to the W3C validator, if you don't have it: https://validator.w3.org/
