Browser Testing with Browserstack
Since Scout doesn't support Windows, an incredibly small percentage of our visits come from Internet Explorer. However, our homepage attracts a more general audience, so we wanted to make sure it looked solid in IE as well. Instead of dealing with something slow and complicated on my Mac, I just used Browserstack . Browserstack is great: tons of browsers (way more than I'd ever install locally) and support for SSH tunneling …

…several SAML profiles. The most popular one that New Relic supports is the Browser/POST profile. You can see a scenario below for an Identity Provider initiated SSO using the Browser/POST profile.

…Ruby on Rails code that processes the request and generates the response. The final part is when the Browser processes the HTML, applies the CSS, runs the Javascript, and downloads images and other page widgets.

Browser Support
Unfortunately, it's not all good news yet. At this time, IndexedDB is only supported by the following browsers:
Browser
Version Mozilla Firefox

It's time for another installment of our " Browser Wars" blog series. Thanks to our Real User Monitoring ( RUM) feature, we are able to periodically report on average browser speed experienced by the end users of the nearly 700,000 application instances monitored by New Relic. For the curious, New Relic monitors about 1.4 million web pageviews a day; about 40 billion a month. That's double the number of pageviews we were monitoring at the time of the last browser …
