It has always been one of the most painful parts of any web development project… testing on multiple browsers to make sure that your site will appear correctly to a wider audience. But there is now some relief, courtesy of a browser sandbox available on the Xenocode website.

In a nutshell, this web page will allow you to emulate any one of the most popular web browsers of the moment, including Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8, as well as Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

If you are using Firefox to launch each of your virtual browsers you will need to install an add-on before you can use the Xenocode software. Once this is done, you can launch each browser at the click of a button.

The great thing is that you no longer need to install and maintain a large number of browsers on your own machine. Each of the Xenocode emulations runs in a sandbox on your computer to avoid any conflicts with your operating system or other installed programs.
