Browserling now has bookmarklets! - good coders code, great reuse

I'm implementing every feature imaginable to make Browserling as easy to use as possible. A little while ago I created Bookmarklets for Browserling. Browserling's bookmarklets let you bookmark links to browsers for quick and easy access.

Try Browserling's Bookmarklets!

Let's say you're testing in Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11 daily. Then you can just create bookmarks to these browsers. You just put them in bookmarks bar and you can start testing in IE 9, 10 or 11 with one click. Super easy and neat!

Under the hood, Browserling's bookmarklets use the unique Browserling's browser sharing scheme, which is another feature for easily accessing browsers. Here's how Browserling's URL scheme looks like:

  browserling.com/browse/Platform/Platform_Version/Browser/Browser_Version/URL

For example,

  browserling.com/browse/windows/vista/chrome/40/catonmat.net

This loads catonmat.net in Chrome 40 on Windows Vista. Browserling's bookmarklets just generate the right browsing URL and when you bookmark it, it loads the right browser. Neat, isn't it?

PS. I've also created Chrome, Firefox and Opera extensions for Browserling. They make cross-browser testing as easy as bookmarklets. Just install the extension and you can start testing with one click on the extension.

Until next time!
