Free-As-In-Beer Tools For Chrome And Firefox
For years I've been following Nir Sofer, author of a whole slew of beer-free utilities under the "NirSoft" label. They cost nothing to download and use, don't need to be installed, and make a perfect addition to something like a PortableApps pack. A few of his tools in particular caught my eye for this blog: - ChromeCacheView, which lets you browse and dump the contents of the Chrome cache The only mildly frustrating thing about these tools is the licensing, although Mr. Sofer does have a few utilities with full source code included. But for the vast majority of scenarios for these tools, and all the others in his library, his free-to-use and free-to-distribute license is probably more than enough.
