SkipScreen Testing Resources

Welcome to testing resources for SkipScreen!

File hosting sites change all the time. We are hard at work keeping SkipScreen up to date with those changes; this page is part of that effort.

Notes for testers

Permanent link to the most recent beta

Once restarted, a dedicated whatsnew_beta page should be displayed.

You get to try out early versions of skipscreen before the general release -- but in return, we ask you to poke at it, to push it, to run it through its paces.

Please, try to 'break' SkipScreen. Download everything you can find at this page - download simultaneously; look at the menus, change the options -- can you actually disable things? Can you re-enable them? Be Creative! more than 400,000 people use SkipScreen everyday -- and you few are trying to replicate their weird habits!

And please -- give us your feedback. Did the extension auto-update? Did it fail? Either way -- we'd love to find out. We've been getting hardly any feedback on the latest beta releases. Are we not asking you enough questions? Asking too many questions? Not giving you the right resources? We understand that you're doing us a favor -- and we appreciate it -- but without feedback, we don't know if anything at all is working....

Since the production-version of SkipScreen only checks the production-version for updates, and this beta-version only checks for updates of the beta version (and contains in-process code, as well as potential new bugs), I recommend using distinct profiles for your 'normal' and 'beta-test' browsing.

You should be able to start the profile manager via 'firefox.exe -p -no-remote' if that doesn't work, see mozilla.com:Managing profiles and let us know how we can improve these notes.

Also some testing resources listed at the left, like FireShot — a FireFox screenshot extension. If you see anything weird and can't save the page, take a screenshot! or do both.

If you get an unhandled page, or anything else that's strange, please make a copy of the page via File >> Save As >> Web Page, complete, zip it and mail it to skipper+bugreport@skipscreen.com! And/or get a screenshot of the error.

A big thanks toall of you for checking these versions out, and letting us know how things are going. Couldn't do it without you.
