Does anyone have experience with this? It would be interesting if this is finally a good solution that really works.

#12Looks interesting, but can't you already do this in Chrome using User Agent Overrides (under Developer Tools)?

It's great for manual testing, just be aware that the performance of the machines they host the browsers on is REALLY bad, to the point that it may make it hard to do testing of HTML5 apps. For basic website testing it works pretty great.

#14I was a bit worried about how this would work on a company intranet. I know my IT network security people are pretty paranoid about bridge networks and all that. Looking at Sauce Connect[1], they recommend to put the service on a dedicated machine on your intranet that you can zone off so it only has access to the parts of the network you want to allow. Seems like a decent solution to allow a running a cloud service…
Someone prove me wrong.

overriding the UA just shows if the server serves different html to different clients

Still. I feel like the price is way too much. The recommended plan is $149/month. For the long run, buying a decent machine and running your own virtual machines would be cheaper. Someone prove me wrong.
