If you're targeting a specific group (e.g., technical platform or country), you may have to test the site with additional browsers, like [Opera](https://www.opera.com/), [Konqueror](https://apps.kde.org/konqueror/).

Testing gets complicated because some browsers only run on certain operating systems. Notably, Apple Safari runs on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It's best to take advantage of services like [Browsershots](https://browsershots.org/) or [Browserstack](https://www.browserstack.com/). Browsershots furnishes screenshots of your website as it will look in various browsers. Browserstack gives you full remote access to virtual machines, so you can test your site in the most common environments and on different operating systems. Alternatively, you can set up your own virtual machines, but that takes some expertise.

See [Strategies for carrying out testing: Putting together a testing lab](/en-US/docs/Learn/Tools_and_testing/Cross_browser_testing/Testing_strategies#putting_together_a_testing_lab) for more information.

By all means run some tests on a real device, especially on real mobile devices. Mobile device simulation is a new, evolving technology and less reliable than desktop simulation. Mobile devices cost money, of course, so we suggest taking a look at the [Open Device Lab initiative](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/11/worlds-best-open-device-labs/#odls-have-opened-doors-for-idls). You can also share devices if you want to test on many platforms without spending too much.
