Resources

There is a new BrowserStack account with owner: webcompat@gmail.com
The new BrowserStack account will be free for another year (exp 03/30/2018). When the subscription is close to expiring, there will be a layer in the UI with a warning and a renewal request can be made to support@browserstack.com (the current contact is Mark Gomes).
