All of us that create and develop web sites for the internet know that the sites not always are shown the same way by different browsers.

To test the browser compatibility normally we have to open the different browsers, usually at least the two most popular ones, Internet Explorer by Microsoft and Firefox by Mozilla.
That’s the basic work we can do.

However there are many other options available to the internet users, options that we usually do not take in consideration, including different operative systems.

It would really be a hard task to make all these tests to check our sites with different OS and the less popular browsers, but now there is a nice free to use web based option that can help us.

It is available at this URL:

http://browsershots.org

The service that this web site offers for free is very nice, and helpful too.

You just insert the web address you want to test and the site starts a process that loads the site on different PC with different operative systems like Windows XP and 2000 or Linux Ubuntu and Freebsd, and different versions of minor browsers like Seamonkey, Opera, Safari and the new Google Chrome.

After some minutes you get all the screenshots of how the site looks in all the different possible combinations of OS and browsers.
