Test websites with multiple browsers: IE6, IE7, IE8, FF2, FF3, FF3.5 and more

As a web developer it is pretty much needed to be able to test a webpage in multiple browsers.

I have used Multiple IE for a while back, but it is no longer being updated and had some problems.

I went out looking for something else, and up came Spoon.

Using this nifty web page you can various browsers.
It does not have as many Internet Explorer versions as Multiple IE, but I only wanted to test my SharePoint pages with IE 7 and 8.
We run a citrix installation with IE7 and mostly our workstations are automatically updates to IE8.

Spoon requires you to install a plutin to your IE (no idea if other browsers work), and then you can open up the other browsers through Spoon.net. It seems to work kind of like Citrix where it looks like you actually have the browser installed.

You can install a server yourself and add as many different browsers as you wish.

The following Browsers are supported:

Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
Firefox 2, 3, 3.5
Apple Safari 3 and 4
Google Chrome
Opera 9 and 10

That should be enough for most developers.

The good thing is you don’t have to install anything other than the browser plugin.

Oh… Did I mention that browsers are not the only thing you can stream from there, and an infinite list if you start up a server yourself. Of course if it’s only you that are going to use it, don’t bother :-)

Notepad++
VLC Player
itunes
WinRAR
DVDDecryptor
Registry Mechanic
Xenocode .NET Obfuscator
CoffeeCup HTML Editor
WinDbg
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
AutoIt Script Engine with Editor

And lots more. Have a look.
