Great idea but the "free version" is really limiting and renders it rather useless. Imagine if gmail had started with giving 1MB of space .. thats how it feels on this. Sorry to be harsh
Peteris Krumins
@rameshdot0 Thanks for your honest feedback. The free version still has its uses. We keep browsers on the free version up to date, so if you need to do quick testing on the latest browsers, you can just flip through them quickly. Once we grow a little bit more we'll be able to offer something nicer. :)

How do these compare with BrowserStack? We use BrowserStack at work & it does a pretty good job, intrigued to hear if Browserling differentiates itself in any way.

@fredrivett Thanks for your question. I'm the co-founder of Browserling. Many of the features are the same features but we also offer Live API (browserling.com/api). Live API lets you embed browsers right in your own testing product via a neat JavaScript interface. It's been very popular in QA teams. We're the first company to offer live interactive testing in your browser, we launched in 2010, while our competitors added this feature much later. We're constantly innovating at Browserling. Last year I published this blog post - top 10 innovations at Browserling (www.catonmat.net/blog/top-10-bro...). We also love working fast. Inbox zero and happy customers is how we roll. :)

@kwdinc This will definitely be a huge timesaver! Great Hunt!
Peteris Krumins
@spinoodle For sure! :)

Looked great at first, but then I went back to the 90's. I think this product can become soooo much better. Keep up the (pretty) good work! 😌
Peteris Krumins
@mkaroumi Thank you! I agree, the product's UI needs an update. It just works well and is easy to understand that we haven't changed it yet. :)
Marcus
@pkrumins @mkaroumi Looking forward to a potential change. Please let us know when the 2.0 is out ;)

Browserling lets you do cross-browser testing from your browser. Instead of maintaining a bunch of virtual machines for the browsers, you can just go to www.browserling.com and use the browsers!

@kwdinc Thanks for submitting Browserling to Product Hunt!

I have been a big fan of this for a long time! Liking the ui refresh.
Peteris Krumins
@stewartjarod Thank you! I've to agree with you, the new UI is fresh and I love it. Shout outs to Sandra Macias (@s4ndee) from my startup incubator Hackers/Founders for making it.

Going to run through this with our PM team first thing tomorrow. Looks like a huge time saver.
Peteris Krumins
@mrakshaypatel Awesome! Shoot me an email at peter@browserling.com at any time, if you'll have any questions.

Very useful - has it been tested much with R>L and multi-byte languages?
Peteris Krumins
@lynnfredricks Thank you! Well, we stream real browsers running in virtual machines to you. It's up to actual browser (chrome, firefox, ie, etc.) how they render R>L and multi-byte languages. We provide quick access to real browsers and don't deal with R>L or multi-byte languages ourselves. Does that make sense?
Lynn Fredricks
@pkrumins @lynnfredricks Hi Peteris - then the answer is no? ;-) I understand the concept, but I actually asked if you tested it. In theory, the real browser should work that way. But its still something that's hosted within an environment and delivered within my browser - so "in theory . Id test this myself with some Japanese sites but I am seeing a very long wait line (just dropped from 45 minutes to 25 minutes) - nix that, five minutes later, it properly displayed cgworld.jp.
Peteris Krumins
@lynnfredricks We just added about a hundred cloud servers as we're getting hammered. The queue was like 150 people just now. Now it dropped to 16, and wait time has dropped to 4 mins. Whew. :) Aha, I see what you're saying now. We run an English/US version of operating systems, so we don't have native R>L support in the system itself. Browsers however have their own way of dealing with this. You can load a R>L page even on English/US system. We haven't tested it ourselves, but we do have Chinese, Japanese and even Arabic customers and they aren't complaining, so I guess it works well. :) Does that answer your question?

God bless you, dear devs who made this.
