Take screenshots with Microsoft Edge, the new web browser

Aug 3, 2015

Tags: mashup

Windows 10 ships with a new web browser: Microsoft Edge (previously called Project Spartan). It is the default navigator in Windows 10.

We've made the new browser available at https://edge.browshot.com/. We will add Microsoft Edge as a free instance in the coming weeks. It will not support all features offered by Browshot as the new browser does not support extensions or any other type of automation.

Try the Microsoft Edge browser

Try the new Browshot

Jul 16, 2015

We've been working hard over the past couple of months to provide a new version of the Browshot website. We didn't want to put just a new skin on the existing website. We wanted to build the foundation of a better, more user-friendly, website and dashboard.


Try the new version at https://beta.browshot.com/.

It shares the same back-end as the main website. Use your current credentials to login. Any screenshot you use will count towards your balance.

We'd love to get your feedback. I hope you'll find the new dashboard easier to use.

We will keep making improvements to the new website. We plan on switching to the new version in a couple of weeks. We will keep improving it based on your feedback.

Try https://beta.browshot.com/ today.
