I have just published an article that covers the subject of testing your site/pages and the compatibility with different browsers, several different services and solutions exist. I aim to cover as many solutions as possible in the article.
The main areas of the article are :
- Hardware based solutions
- Software based solutions
- Standalone solutions
- Remote Testing Machines solutions
- Cross-Browser screen capturing
- Standards Compliance
- Load and Stress Tests

I question the reliability and accuracy of Generative AI (GenAI) in enterprise scenarios, particularly when faced with adversarial questions, highlighting that current Large Language Models (LLMs) may be data-rich but lack in reasoning and causality. I would call for a more balanced approach to AI adoption in cases of assisting users, requiring supervision, and the need for better LLM models that can be trusted, learn, and reason.
I discuss my experience with chatbots, contrasting older rules-based systems with newer GenAI (General Artificial Intelligence) chatbots. We cannot dismiss the creative capabilities of GenAI-based chatbots, but these systems lack reliability, especially in customer-facing applications, and improvements in the way AI is structured could lead to a "software renaissance," potentially reducing society's technical debt.
The article discusses the contrasting debate on how AI safety is and should be managed, its impact on technical debt, and its societal implications.
It notes the Center for AI Safety's call for a worldwide focus on the risks of AI, and Meredith Whittaker's criticism that such warnings preserve the status quo, strengthening tech giants' dominance. The piece also highlights AI's potential to decrease societal and technical debt by making software production cheaper, simpler, and resulting in far more innovation. It provides examples of cost-effective open-source models that perform well and emphasizes the rapid pace of AI innovation. Last, the article emphasises the need for adaptive legislation to match the pace of AI innovation, empowering suitable government entities for oversight, defining appropriate scopes for legislation and regulation, addressing ethical issues and biases in AI, and promoting public engagement in AI regulatory decisions.
Japan has made its ruling on the situation between Content creators and Businesses. Japanese companies that use AI have the freedom to use content for training purposes without the burden of copyright laws. This news about the copyright laws in Japan reported over at Technomancers is seen as Businesses: 1 / Content Creators: 0 The […]
Wow, that's awesome ! Just what I needed for my project. I only knew BrowserPhoto and I agree not impressed with the pres. I check out several and it's true that Browsercam and Sitevista (love their design) look good.
Thanks for sharing the info mate 🙂

Thanks for the article, I need to check whether our pages are appearing correctly or not and what differences there may be. This is really a good overview of what is out there. I had started a list but yours is more complete. It's true that browser compatibility is still a hard one to crack. We need to check Internet Explorer, Opera, FireFox and Safari but even in IE for example it works fine with some versions and then falls to pieces in others.
I'm just happy my boss has realised that we are probably losing clients/visitors because the pages don't degrade properly or parts are hidden by overlappin elements on the page !
The reference to the stats was helpful as well, I didn't really know how many are using a 800 x 600 pixels screen size as opposed to 1024 x 768.
Thanks again. BTW which one do you prefer out of these ?
