Browser Sandbox - Run any browser from the web

As a developer sometimes we face problems with compatibility issues on few versions of browsers, for that we need to test them on those browsers. So some times we need to have them installed on our system. I have found a wonderful utility to test my applications in all versions browsers in my machine without having them installed. This is a great utility for all the developers to test their applications to resolve browser compatibility issues.

Download and install this plug-in.

I personally found this very helpful. Hope this is useful for you.
