Test Browser Shots of Your Website

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

I came across an interesting resource that uses different computers within a network to create browser shots of your site in over 40 browser on all three operating systems, Linux, Windows and Mac OS. BrowserShots.org (conveniently named) also allows you to select the screen size and color depth of the computer you want to test on, along with letting it know if Javascript, Java, or Flash are enabled or not.

I have not had a chance to use this resource as of yet, however it looks very promising and do plan to do so in the near future. If you check out this resource, I would love to include your review here.
