It exploits the fact that you can actually install locally all browsers that anyone cares to use, including multiple versions of IE. BrowserSeal can use all these browsers to automatically capture the screenshot of your site. It is much faster than any web based service and it can work with web sites on your company's intranet or local hard drive. Moreover, after you discover some rendering inconsistency, you can actually launch the problematic browser and debug the problem.

Currently it only supports Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari on Windows, but as it is being actively developed more features and additional browsers will be added in the future.

I checked the page out but I am using Firefox on Ubuntu right now and no where close to a Windows machine so I can't really try it out. I'll give it another try when I am on a Windows machine and using Internet Explorer. Thanks for the link.

It comes loaded with Safari, Firefox, Opera, plus a few more. Just wanted to provide an update – we have now added a Mac OS configuration (10.5.4) to the list of available systems.

I like your service I can see me using it quite a bit once my one year subscription at BrowserCam ends. Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to the Mac platform. That is the hardest one for me to test on. Thanks for dropping by Mike. I like your service I can see me using it quite a bit once my one year subscription at BrowserCam ends.

I especially liked your demo showing how much you can do in the free five minute sessions. I am glad you found it useful and appreciate your taking the time to write about it. As far as available configurations, we started with what we felt were the easiest (for us) and most needed (by users) to begin with. Right now, it seems IE6 CSS compatibility is the biggest problem for developers. WinXP is by far the most run configuration, with Vista a distant second. The Win98 and Ubuntu configurations are run a lot less often. We've only had a couple of people ask about Win2k. If we see more interest, we'll place it higher on the priority list of our to-dos. What we do get asked a lot about of course is the Mac platform. I can assure you we are trying like heck to get Macs out the door. Our current target is mid-May. We also do not plan to leave our *nix users in a lurch. We will get more distros out there soon as well. We are just getting started, there is much more to come. Thanks again, Mike Hi,
