We are doing major upgrade of the Chrome and Mobile instances. You can test the new chrome 60 (instance #35) and iPhone 7 (instance #67) for free during the beta tests. The goal is to replace all Chrome and mobile (Android & iOS) instances with the new versions in a couple of weeks. These new instances bring improved speed and reliability.
After the end of the beat test, the iPhone 7 will be available as a premium or private instance only.
We have updated all our servers with a new SSL certificates to fix a compatibility issue with the latest Chrome version. There was no downtime. The new certificate is valid for 1 year.
We started offering Internet Explorer instances in June 2014. Almost 3 years later, less than 0.01% of the screenshots have been done one of the 4 Internet Explorer instances we have available.
We think it is better to focus our efforts and resources on the Chrome and Firefox desktop browsers, as well as the Android and iPhone mobile instances.
We will hide the Internet Explorer instances from the dashboard in the next 2 weeks. They will still be available through the API. The instances will be completely removed by April 16th.
Please contact us if you have any concern.
Here are some of the updates to Browshot we rolled out in January 2017:
We have moved all static content to cdn.browshot.com. It is powered by the Amazon CloudFront CDN, replacing our previous Microsoft CDN. Some users were having issues with the previous DNS. We noticed better performances with the new CDN, especially in Asia
