I'm a big fan of Firefox and have started using a new add-on which is just brilliant.
Using SEOpen, from one right-click, I can check a page's:
- Yahoo Backlinks
- Pages in Yahoo Index
- Google Backlinks
- Google Cache
- Pages in Google index
- Google Translate to English
- Google Related
- PageRank Check
- MSN Backlinks
- Pages in MSN Index
- Alexa Overview
- Alexa Traffic
- Alexa Related
- Alexa Backlinks
- "Mass Check" multiple sources at once
- Check DMOZ Inclusion
- Keyword Density
- Page Size Checker
- HTML Validator
- Server Header Viewer
- Wayback Machine
- Check robots.txt
- Whois Info
This is a bit specialist (ahem) but some of the other add-ons I love can be useful for everyone:
Very easy copy'n'paste for a shorter URL
Useful things like retrieving closed tabs, copy tab URL
Edit images easily, simple crop, resize
Displays thumbnail screenshots next to external links on a web page, this one I think I'll disable
Extremely useful to clip pages or text but be even better if I was saving to my web repository, not my hard drive
Lets me open a URL from text
Edit right-click menu
Shows a page as it would appear in IE
Combines Google, Wikipedia (I use that a lot), Yahoo, de.li.cious etal
Great developer tool. More >
Advanced Dork DOM Inspector LinkChecker ColorZilla
Copies any colour from a page.
Speeds up + manages downloading
Puts a shortcut on your desktop
Blocks ads (except those served from the site, which some do)
What am I missing?
Date Picker / Calendar
ReplyDeleteGoogle Web Accelerator for anonymous browsing (memory hog though)

ReplyDeleteStatus Bar Clock
YSlow (web page performance analysis)
ReloadEvery
Extended Status Bar
Sorry for no links.

"What am I missing?"
ReplyDeleteFireFTP is useful, as is Foxmarks if you use several computers and want to keep your bookmarks in sync across all of them - though I find ma.gnolia.com a lot better for that, as it doesn't matter what computer OS or browser you're using as long as it's connected to the Web. And it beats tinyurl.com for making short urls, too - it generates short urls you can actually pronounce, which makes remembering them and sending them to others much easier. And groups, too! it's a bit like Flickr for bookmarks. Can't stop raving about it... :-)
Thanks Peter - I will investigate.
ReplyDeletea colleague is strongly suggesting fox marks.
keep raving. keeps you young ;]
