Test your site in all mainstream browsers without installing

Sometimes I’m amazed and today is such a rare moment. This should be embedded in Visual Studio 2010 by default!

Have a look over here and get amazed. Trust me it works!

Just say no to random executables downloaded to your machine.

@Joe Chung

Does an installer fall in that same category?

I was tempted to try it, but a name like "Chrome.exe" made me uncomfortable.

If it were called "Xenocode_Chrome_Sandboxed.exe" or something else clear, I might have actually tried it.

Ofcourse! Installers usually run as administrator so can access all data on your system!

Only run *signed* executables (exe) / installers (msi) that are signed by a corporation that you thrust!

@AndrewSeven : What's in a name? (rename the file if you would like to use it :D)

@Ramon Smits : I was being sarcastic. Mozilla installer is just a random executable, downloaded from the internet. So is the Chrome installer etc. etc.

But I have a question for you as well. What corporations can I trust? Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Xenocode, Sony?

P.S. I'm just having fun. I agree with Ramon and Joe. I do have a virusscanner though...
