5 tips or tools for switching between browsers

Web page Production WEBJX article introduction: five methods and tools for switching between multiple browsers (front-end development techniques).

For Web site front-end developers, user experience designers, internet product engineering staff, as well as the majority of webmaster, bloggers, and deep users, often have a common demand: the need to switch between multiple browsers often used to check the page effect, test product performance, or at the same time with several accounts to log on the same page.

At present, the main international mainstream browser is the following five: Microsoft's IE, the same year to the bundled way to occupy the ultra-high market share, but fade tired of the boss; Firefox, the strong momentum, full-featured Up-and-comer, IE's biggest challenger; The masterpiece from another internet giant, Google, is known for its lightweight and fast-running, and Opera, the fastest-growing browser, also has a decent performance on mobile terminals; Safari, with Apple's gold-plated brand, is a must for Mac users.

Five browsers, each with its own characteristics, for different needs, the specific use of each has a focus. Here are 5 tips or tools to maximize the performance efficiencies of synchronizing using multiple browsers, making it easier for you to wander between them.

I. Sync IE favorites on multiple computers

Favorites Synchronization is one of the basic requirements, but the limited scalability of IE has so far lacked an authoritative synchronization tool leader. Fortunately, with the help of some third-party synchronization tools, we can keep IE's favorites in sync with multiple computers.

To the current domestic users can normal use of domestic synchronization tool Dbank as an example (why not Dropbox for example?) You know... In fact the same principle). After the Dbank is installed, the local Sync Private folder will be generated as Dropbox. Let's say: E:\ my dbank\.

Open Registry Editor (start-> run->regedit carriage return), in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User In the Shell Folders, modify the Favorites value to e:\ my dbank\.

In this way, the save location of IE's favorites is specified in the Dbank synchronization folder.

Perform these actions on all computers that need to sync ie favorites. They will share the same Dbank account synchronization files, to achieve a number of computer favorites between the synchronization. This method is suitable for most synchronization software clients which are organized by folders.

Synchronizing bookmarks between different browsers

Currently recognized as the best tool is the XMarks browser plug-in (previously had been closed a small black house, and now released). Supports synchronization between IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, and allows direct access to these synchronized bookmarks on the Web page.

Before using XMarks, you need to register a user account. Then, let it work for you quietly. (Synchronous control of earlier introduction to XMarks)

Four, at the same time tile display multiple browsers

Sometimes to compare the effects of the same page in different browsers, you need to open multiple browsers and switch back and forth. At this point, it will be more advantageous to compare and discover problems by tiling their windows.

Of course, the quickest way to do this is to right-click the taskbar and choose to tile windows horizontally/vertically. If you are using Win7, then there is another way: use Snap to this function. Drag the window to the left or right side of the page, with the outline appear and release the mouse, the window is positioned at the specified location. For other windows to do this, you can achieve multiple window rows to eat fruit effect. This is especially true for multiple browser comparisons. (Microsoft website introduction and video demo)

V. Quickly open the current page with another browser

If you feel that manually copying and pasting URLs is too cumbersome, then Firefox's plugin--open with will become the right-hand man for simplified operations. All support calls IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera.

After installation, it can be based on the settings, in the View menu, tab bar or content menu, to increase the corresponding links to other browsers. When clicked, the other browser is automatically invoked to open the current page. Should web developers be on the inside of cows?
