It might happen that your website looks decent, when viewed in IE 10- Win 7 but it misses the charm when viewed in IE 8 - Win 7. To make website browsing a memorable and consistent experience, it is imperative to test browsers along with operating systems.
While resorting to a browser for internet surfing, most desktop users prefer Chrome, IE and Firefox. Chrome remains to be favourite for many users and with that, it continues to outperform other browsers with a roaring 47% market share.
Chrome is easily accessible and much simpler. Chrome and Firefox also offers more customization with add ons. The versions 9 and above of Internet Explorer use HTML 5, which enhances browsing experience on the other side.

Apart, some other popular resolutions remain to be 640×960 and 640×1136 and devices that fall here are iPhone 4 and 5.
As the popularity of larger resolutions is prominent, more devices are manufactured keeping in mind 1366X768, 1280X800, 768X1024
resolutions. Macbook Air 11.6 is engineered keeping in mind 1366X768 resolution. Monitors are designed keeping in mind 1680*1050
resolution while low resolution smartphones target a typical 320X480 resolution.
