Want to see what your website looks like in other browsers without having to find a computer actually running those browsers? Now you can! Visit browser shots where you can enter your url and have screenshots of your site in different operating systems and browsers. You'll be entered into a queue after you submit your preferences, so be prepared to wait for a little.
