Both services enable web developers to test their web pages across multiple platforms and multiple browsers (even many versions of those browsers). Each service takes a web address and generates a screenshot of the page at that address for each of the selected browsers.
The basic service at Browsershots.org is free, but this sometimes means you could wait for half an hour or more for your screenshots – usually depending on the browsers you have selected, and sometimes simply on how busy the network of rendering machines is at any time.
For $15, you can get priority processing which usually means 20 or so screenshots rendered in around 3 minutes (there’s a discount option if you pay for a whole year up front).

Thank you very much for your discussion of Google Chrome. Hopeuflly, Google Chrome will further enhance search, particularly in evaluating websites in a variety of ways. We have found that Firefox has been a good means to compare our own site with our competitors’ sites in order to find ways that we can make beneficial improvements to our site. Hopefully, Google Chrome will provide even more possibilities in this regards. Thanks again.
I still like firefox way better than google chrome. Its only beta though so it will improve
