I always find it depressing to see what my sites look like in IE-especially version 5 and 6. :)

In todays world of Browser Compatibility it is important that web designers and developers see their site in different browsers. Do you also have a good resource for PC users to see their sites on Mac browsers?

It would be a great service if it worked :( Don’t get me wrong it returns screenshots really quickly but they are not accurate.

I viewed a couple of different sites in IE6 & IE7 and the screenshots showed layout issues which are not present when the view the sites in the actual browsers. (we run IE6 & IE7 on different machines in the studio so I could test the sites in the actual browsers as well for comparison)

So if you are going to use this service take it’s results with a pinch of salt! You could spend ages trying to fix a layout bug which doesn’t exist in the real browser!

Older versions of the Mac OS can be run from a USB drive. See :

not exactly speedy, but very useful if you really want to see what your site look likes across many browsers.

It would need more polish for me to use. It’s so fast that it does not give time for images finishing loading… I still prefer BrowserCam, more complete, but 50$ a month!
