Adobe BrowserLab enables cross-browser testing by producing screenshots of websites from various web browsers across different platforms (Windows and OS X are currently supported). Compare screenshots side-by-side or overlaid upon one another, and utilize diagnostic tools to help discover cross-browser differences. The service can access dynamic pages across the web, or viewed locally via Firebug or Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. BrowserLab is updated frequently to enhance the service and provide access to a fresh and relevant set of browsers.
The BrowserLab for Firebug extension allows Firebug users to preview their page (live URL, or local edited source) in BrowserLab. This workflow allows using BrowserLab with site content that is behind a firewall or other security wall.
The BrowserLab team blogs regularly on the Adobe BrowserLab Team Blog.
In 2006, a team of Chicago-based designers and developers, Dean Vukas, Josh Hatwich, Ted Billups and Charles Stevenson conceived and invented MeerMeer, a web site testing tool for web developers and designers. The MeerMeer SaaS application and patent was sold to Adobe Systems, Inc. in December 2007 and was released worldwide under the new name, Adobe BrowserLab.
