If you’re looking for a way to run IE 6/7/8 concurrently on Windows, Xenocode’s Browser Sandbox will let you do just that. You can also run Firefox (3 and 2), Safari, Chrome, and Opera. From the site:

The Xenocode Browser Sandbox allows all popular Windows browsers to be run simultaneously, directly from the web. Web designers, system administrators, and other users can now evaluate Internet Explorer 8, 7, and 6, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome directly from the web in a risk-free manner. Unlike traditional software applications, Xenocode WebApps do not require any software to be installed and allow multiple application versions to run side-by-side on any version of Windows.

The downloads are free; Xenocode’s WebApp technology is in beta.

Update: As noted by PM below, you now have to install the Spoon plug-in to get the browsers to run. You don’t have to register, though. Just download and install the plug-in and return to the Xenocode browser page to run the browser of your choice.

  1. Hmmm…what am I missing here? When I click on one of the available browser versions directly, I get redirected to the product site (i.e. Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera, etc.). The only other thing to click on that I can find is asking me to install the “Spoon Plugin”. So much for (quote)”…do not require any software to be installed” (end quote). Can’t seem to find any “free” downloads either, only an Evaluation Version that requires registration.

  2. @PM: If you’re on Windows, you should be able to click on the green buttons (I can’t verify on my Mac) to run the various browsers. If not, they may have changed how things are set up. For example, I used to be able to download the EXEs from my Mac, but I no longer can. Not sure what’s up.

  3. Oh, I see it works but, as you note, you now have to install the Spoon plug-in.

  4. When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any means you possibly can take away me from that service? Thanks!

  30. With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
