SuperPreview is a utility that is included in the Microsoft Expression Web 3 developing package. The utility can also be found as a standalone application and it allows you to preview pages in multiple browsers. When developing a website, specially the front end, one has to verify that it works for all browser versions. What might look good in one browser might look all crooked and ugly in another. Specific amount of work has to be done to ensure that a website is compatible with as many browsers as possible. Before that developers used different windows of the browsers in order to test their designs. But SuperPreview allows you to preview and compare a website side by side with different browser options. With SuperPreview you can compare your site in IE6 and IE8, noticing the differences between them. Overall, the program does the job really well, though the UI does not have much hints for beginners, but it is ok if you use it continuously. The main issue with the utility is that websites can take a long time to load when using SuperPreview. All in all, this is a great application for developers working on browser compatibility.
