: How to handle browser-compatibility check for your website Whenever I redesign a website, I spend a lot of time manually checking whether the new website is still supported on all major browsers

Whenever I redesign a website, I spend a lot of time manually checking whether the new website is still supported on all major browsers by opening the website on the corresponding browser.

What is a time-efficient way of testing cross browser compatibility?

The two approaches are:


Install all the browsers that you can on the computers that you have.


You'll need multiple platforms: Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, etc.
Emulators and virtual machines can help.


Microsoft released virtual machines for testing various versions of Internet Explorer. I can even get these to work on Linux.
There are many phone simulators for testing mobile


Sign up for a service that has all these installed for you and lets you access them. There are several available. I find that is it generally cost effective to do this rather than continually having to buy (and manage) machines just for testing. I personally use crossbrowsertesting.com
