"Faster, Safer, More Consistent Browsers: Browserscope"

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Browserscope is a cloud test-collection site that accepts user tests which run on any host and beacon results back for automatic aggregation by user agent, export as JSON/CSV/pickle, and homepage promotion. A compatibility test (jkb) already shows about 3,000 results and 134 user agents. Built as an App Engine app you can deploy yourself, it proves quick UI experiments work: a selection redesign saves roughly 0.5s on desktop but performs worse on iPhone.
