no offense to anyone who's posted, but every time this thread
comes up i try to bow out... but then i see people recommending
all sorts of shareware, fat downloads, resource eaters, task-bar
space-takers, etc...
what i don't understand is why no one just defaults to using
bookmarklets...
http://bookmarklets.com/
they are:
- free...
- JavaScript bookmarks...
- available for any JS-friendly browser/platform...
- not eating space or resources...
- cake to customize...
- more than just window sizers...
personally, i have almost the entire collection... they are
*immeasurably* useful...
normally rudy posts this recommendation, but he seems to have
missed his chance here...
anyway, tool categories (since a lot of people think they can't use
them):
Page Data
Freshness test, Links on Page, Page with Selected Text, tools to
extract data from a webpage.
Page Look
Page Color, Auto-Scrolls, Zoom on Image, tools to change the
appearance of a webpage.
Navigation
Back All Frames, Go To Random, Find Simultaneously, tools that
affect navigation between pages.
Windowing
Resize, Center, Setup, tools that resize or reposition windows.
Most Windowing tools require NS 4 or IE 4.
Search tools

Search Bookmarklets. Home of the user-defined hyperlink. You
