Browsershots tests your site’s appearance in various browsers. The supported browsers include Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla, Opera, SeaMonkey, Flock, and many more. The process is simply entering your url address, which then is opened in some distributed computers with different browsers. The result will be captured and sent to the central server in Browsershots. This service does not only work on Windows, but also on other operating systems such as Linux, Mac OS, and BSD. It is a must-use tool for a blogger, especially a web designer, to check if his sites or blogs are displayed properly in the supported operating systems and web browsers.
The most competitive part from this service compared from other similar services is that the distributed computers are run by some volunteers. After they load the url address you submit in their different browsers, they will create screenshot of the web pages and send it to the Browsershot’s central server. At present there are 101 computers that support its existence by volunteering as the screenshot factories.
The unbelievable thing is this extremely useful service is provided for free even until now regardless of how popular it has been. If you are curious about how the screenshot will look like, you can check out the recent screenshot page on the site.
