As I work on my and my clients websites I use this one incredible tool EVERY TIME.
It’s so easy to use, and best of all… it doesn’t cost a single penny.
We’ve all done the quick, how does my site look in the couple different browsers I have on my computer check, and if you don’t do this, start NOW!
Well most of us only have a couple or few browsers on our computer, and having a quick to check ALL browsers is out of the question. Well, there’s a tool out there that helps solves this…
It’s called Adobe BrowserLab.
When you go to this website, put in your site’s URL and it will automatically give you a screenshot of what your website looks like in ALL browsers (e.g. IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc.).
Not only will it give you what your website looks like in the current version of a browser but it will show you what it looks like in past versions as well. Quickly comparing IE8 and IE7 is now a snap.
You will be amazed at the things you will find when looking at your website in different browsers. And this isn’t just from a “look pretty” standpoint, you could actually be losing sales because something doesn’t show up correctly in one of the browsers.
But the best feature, is the ability to test different resolutions. People have their screen sizes set many different options, and checking those manually is a HUGE pain. This tool gives you the option to check different resolutions, which can be a big time saver.
There’s even more subtle options, such as checking to see what happens to your site when a user has javascript or Flash disabled. (And yes, there are people who visit your site with these disabled)
So save yourself some time, and visit the site below to check out your website in different browsers. You’ll have to setup an account if you don’t already have one, but don’t worry… it’s free!

I just saw browsershots.org went out of business or their website was taken down. I went out and found another great website that is brought to you by Adobe. I will update the post now with the tool Adobe provides.
