Aardvark Firefox extension

December 6, 2005

I usually try not to re-post entries posted on BoingBoing or Gadgetopia, but I couldn’t pass this one up on Gadgetopia. If you are a web developer, you need to install the Aardvark Firefox extension as soon as possible.

As you glide the mouse over the page, you will see a red rectangle framing each element under the cursor. You will also see a little yellow caption showing the HTML element type and its class or id if they exist.
…
You can then press certain keys on the keyboard (as indicated below) to do various things, such as delete the selected element from the page, isolate the element, or move the selection rectangle outward to the containing element.

It’s very cool all the different things that it allows you to do to the elements on a page: Remove, Isolate, Colorize, etc. As pointed out in the Gadgetopia post, Isolate will be really handy for removing all content of a page except the chosen block for printing.

I really need to turn on my categories again so that I can tag this one a Recommended.
