I wanted to make a list of browser plug-ins that I use and find quite important to security and daily ops work.

First, for IE (I accidently upgraded to 7.0 and didn't feel like un-installing the behemoth)

• Bayden Systems' TamperIE offers HTTPS form-tampering
• sort of a mac-daddy tamper application to change your post data on the fly, must have.
• Microsoft's IE Developer Toolbar
• Change values on the fly also get header info and more right away
• Microsoft's IE Powertoys for WebDevs
• was cool but appears the highlight and show source dont work with IE7, however still works for DOM data so I keep it.

Now the giant list for FireFox (where all the 31337 users are)

• AdBlockPlus
• This is like going from dial up to DSL, the internet all the sudden becomes “sweet”
• BlogJet
• This is also in my IE, its my blogger application
• DOM Inspector
• handy for webdev and de-construction
• DownloadThemAll
• I dont like to click and this is a price-less tool for saving clicks.
• GoogleBrowserSynch
• I dont like how big google is and I dont like the idea of google watching what I browse, this was just an interesting tool since I am on lots of computers, I just dont have the guts to sign-in yet.
• GoogleToolBar
• this is a must, duh.
• HttpHeaders
• handy for webdev and de-construction
• ModifyHeaders
• handy for webdev and de-construction, and user-agent mods
• NoScript
• The only “security” leo laporte knows with out steve giving him a script. Handy for hacking things.
• RefControl
• spoof the referrer to the server.
• PDF Download
• sometime I like to download pdf’s sometimes I like to view them live, this lets me choose.
• Tamper Data
• same as TemperIE but for zilla
• ULRParms
• Different type of TamperData type plugin
• User Agent Switcher
• mac-daddy agent switcher, here is my browser list in XML for import
• File Attachment: useragentswitcher.xml (9 KB)
• WebDev
• This tools is mostly a must for anyone, you can quickly shut on and off and mod parts of sites.
