Developer Toolbox - Web Developer Toolbar
January 16, 2008 – 10:13 pm
What is the one application you probably have open more than any other? Your browser! I know my browser is open 24×7. I’m testing my application, watching the news, reading blogs, etc. As a developer your browser is one of the most important tools in your toolbox. If you haven’t explored [...]

Bookmarks
Word completion
Insert/Overwrite mode
Unlimited undo/redo
Intelligent character pairing
Not sure where I’d actually USE [...]
