Make Your Site Look Its Best on any Browser with BrowserShots.org
December 21st, 2007
Whenever designing a web site, it is important to see how it would display on different browsers. After all, no two browsers are made the same. However, manually checking every available browser how it displays your site is almost impossible. Sounds trouble? Not with BrowserShots.
BrowserShots is an Internet service that lets you view your website using different browsers available. With 21 available browsers for Linux, Windows and even the Mac, it can give you great insight on how your site looks from any angle. And what’s even better, the service is free of charge. Taking advantage of BrowserShots is very easy: just enter the URL of the site you want to test and it will be immediately added to the job queue. Once the queue reaches the limit, the URL will be opened by a certain number of distributed computers and a screenshot of the browser displaying the site will be added in the main server of BrowserShots. You can now view the screenshots and see how your site appeared in a certain browser. Despite the drawback of having to wait for quite a while for popular browsers such as the Firefox, the results are definitely worth it. If you want a painless way to check your site on 21 browsers without having to install them all, BrowserShots.org is ready to give you a hand.
BrowserShots.org works on most browsers.
