Multi-Browser Viewer

Multi-Browser Viewer is a fantastic software package that offers true cross-browser compatibility testing. It enables users to test any website by using real standalone browsers or utilizing screenshot browser images, which provides higher reliability and quality than Browsershots.org. With this software, users can run IE6, IE7 and IE8 simultaneously, and clearly see how the webpage behaves and functions differently in each browser. Additionally, testing secure pages, JavaScript, and the general look and feel of a webpage is seamless and simple, eliminating the need for multiple virtual machines or slow VNC connections.

Multi-Browser Viewer comes with pre-packaged, virtualized standalone browsers, including IE6, IE7, IE8, and IE9, as well as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Each browser launches from a single executable, which runs in its own virtualized sandbox, ensuring that the browser maintains its own default rendering engine and remains isolated from the rest of the PC. All Standalone browsers come pre-installed with Adobe flash, which makes it easy to test flash animations.

The integration of Selenium RC enables users to automate their cross and functional browser tests on a local, single machine, without any initial setup effort. Users can just record, copy and paste the generated Selenium source code, and replay it against any of the standalone browsers.

Along with standalone browsers, Multi-Browser Viewer also has the ability to take screenshots in the widest selection of browsers across three different operating systems (Mac, Windows, and Linux). It allows users to load a URL and take a full-page screenshot, which is then downloaded to their local machine for easy comparison.

The built-in HTML validation and auto-correction feature helps users identify any HTML errors that could be causing cross-browser compatibility issues. Overall, Multi-Browser Viewer is the most convenient way to do a quick overview cross-browser compatibility test of any website, making it an essential software package for web developers and testers.
