How to test browser Compatibility in Linux

Question

I used Microsoft XP as operation system for web design and development for 1 year. But now I am switching to Ubuntu (linux).

For Windows OS we have Microsoft’s SuperPreview for testing compatibility in different versions of IE.

Please specify the list of such utilities or tools which provide such support in Linux, specifically for Ubuntu.

Answer 1

If you want to test IE compatibility on Linux, you have a few options:

1. Windows on a Virtual Machine (eg: VirtualBox) with multiple IEs installed
2. IEs4Linux
3. Wine + Winetricks

In order of personal preference (VM is my favorite option).

Other than that, you can use install Firefox, Opera and Chrome on Ubuntu. There's no native version of Safari, but you should be fine since it uses the same rendering engine as Chrome (WebKit).
