Run IE8/7/6, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera from the web
- arebop 18y agoThis is not for those of us who do not use Windows: "Xenocode WebApps [...] run instantly on any Windows desktop."
- cookiecaper 18y agoIndeed: This service is unavailable on your device.
- axod 18y agoWhy pretty much negates its potential usefulness.
- oscardelben 18y agoI use this:http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php which makes screenshot but is more than nothing
- thaumaturgy 18y agoI have to throw in a good word here for http://crossbrowsertesting.com/ http://crossbrowsertesting.com/
- oscardelben 18y agoVery useful for professional developers. Thanks
- katamole 18y agoAlternative: http://browsershots.org/ http://browsershots.org/ Screenshots only though.
- dcurtis 18y agoI have a surprising graph to show: here's the OS makeup of Hacker News traffic from a post I recently had on the front page: http://dustincurtis.com/screenshots/Operating_Systems_-_Google_Analytics-20090224-171226.jpg http://dustincurtis.com/screenshots/Operating_Systems_-_Goog...
- mnemonik 18y agoTake in to account people that are at work or school and may not have a choice as to what OS they are using. That probably accounts for a big chunk right there.
- runningskull 18y agoSeemed promising, but turns out to be irrelevant to me. If I ran Windows I could already run all those browsers. It would be really nice if they released a version that could run on OSX.
- parterburn 18y agoIt's extremely helpful as a web designer to be able to check compatibility across all browsers without having to install them. Installing IE6/7/8 on the same machine is not recommended.
- katamole 18y agoI've found http://browsershots.org/ http://browsershots.org/ to be useful for that. Of course, you can't actually use the site through it.
- RossM 18y agoIt might just be me but their processing times seem to have been growing and growing. Also I've been getting frequent erroring machine s(screenshots obscured by dialogs etc.). Might just be my luck though.
- lurkinggrue 18y agoI click on one and it wants me to run an executable, and that in no way could be a trojan or anything right?
- quilby 18y agohttp://browsershots.org/ http://browsershots.org/ lets you get screenshots of your website from many more browsers. (but its screenshots, so you cant interact with the website.)
- nzilla 18y agoRunning IE6 under Vista is still valuable, but this tool still fails where IETester fails-- the fonts are not rendered at the same size as they would be in IE6 on XP. Useless for developers/designers if you can't trust their renderings.
- zmimon 18y agoThis is potentially useful, mainly for running different variations of IE. However ... a) "from the web" is misleading. It is a native windows exe. It is in no sense running "from the web". b) nor does it really run in a real virtualized sandbox - try downloading something or saving something from within a page. you'll get a file browser to save onto your own real file system.
- jpcx01 18y agoRan IE6 one from Fusion and it basically shows a white screen on every page. Not so great. Cool idea though. Hopefully the smooth the kinks over.
