Re: Browsers To Test a Web Site.

The most popular are IE, Firefox, Flock and Chrome.  But here's a free site that will give you screenshots of your site and a ton of different browsers.  I found this most useful since it keeps me from having to download a billion browsers I will never use.

It is important that you test in different versions of IE as they do not behave the same way. You can download IE 6, 7 and 8  from this site http://finalbuilds.edskes.net/iecollection.htm.
Then Firefox, Safari and Chrome. It is also a good idea to find someone who can test on a MAC for you too.

Nice site, thank you. By the way the most popular browser also include opera. And IE includes different versions.
