Lunascape – A Web Designer Tool

by Andy Brudtkuhl on November 25, 2008

Are you a web designer that has the luxury frustration of doing cross browser testing? Are you in charge of cross browser testing your websites? Well look no further than Lunascape 2.0. It’s a web browser that allows you to change rendering engines on the fly in one application. You can test what your design looks like in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome. There is also built-in screen scraping so you if you aren’t a designer you can easily send those random IE design issues to your designer much easier.

Pros
- Test all major browsers in one application
- Easily switch between rendering engines
- Built in screen capture
- Built in RSS reader
- Customizable skins
- Plugin Community

Cons
- No Mac version (boooo!)
- No plugin support (sucks for Firefox users)

No Google Chrome for me

by Andy Brudtkuhl on September 3, 2008

I was off the grid for the last few days and actually heard the news of Google’s entry in the browser market on BBC Radio via NPR… I know – old school.

Anyway – I don’t trust this thing at all. Why? Privacy. Skynet Google already knows far too much about me. The last thing they need to know is my browsing habits. Oh, and no Mac version.

Why so late in the browser game? Co-Founder Sergey Brin discusses why…

Man, Sergey really looks like he needs some sleep…

I’m also not happy about having ANOTHER browser to test my work in.
