It used to be that checking your website in all the different permutations of browsers and operating systems was a big pain or expensive. Thanks to a cool online application called Browsershots (www.browsershots.org) that’s no longer the case. Just enter the URL of your site or page you wish to check, choose which browsers you are concerned about and hit submit. It’s that easy.

Like most online browser checking software, the different versions of your site don’t come up immediately. Sometimes you need to wait for up to 30 minutes to see all the screenshots. Also, it’s impossible to check everything on the page since you only get a static screenshot and no mouse-over effects, etc. However, Browsershots will show you if the latest beta version of IE is breaking your site without having to download it and it covers Linux browsers as well.
