    Default browsershots.org

    I just saw this on digg.com :

    Browsershots.org beta

    I have yet to see the results, but I must say that if this service is half as good as it promises to be, I'll be delighted.

    You get to choose the platforms (linux, mac, windows, mobile, terminal) and the browsers. You get to choose the screen resolution, the color depth, support for java, javascript, flash, etc.

    You select how long you're willing to wait (4 hours max).

    Once you submit a request, you are placed in queue (sp? I always spell that wrong) and can bookmark the page for future reference (not sure how long the page remains viable) as the screenshots are added.

    After your "waiting period" (4 hours max) expires, any outstanding items are cancelled.

    I haven't had a chance to test drive it yet due to the digg effect, but another service I use regularily to test for Safari is http://www.snugtech.com/safaritest/ Fast and free.

    Both look cool. I don't really need much, though, but Linux is nice.

    I already use SafariTest, though. The only other all-Mac browser I know of is Camino, which is basically just Gecko. Are there any others?

    It's always nice being able to test in IE 5 for mac, since that is very different in many ways from other browsers, even, in some ways, from IE 5 for PC, I think.

    But, basically, that's about it.

    The only other thing you'd want to test is compatibility with the different OS's, like file saving/uploading/etc if you're using plugins, etc but that isn't really relavent to those sites.
