Bookmarklets
Bookmarklets, also known as favelets, are little snippets of JavaScript dressed up as bookmarks and require no installation beyond dragging a link containing the script from a page into your browser’s Favorites or Bookmarks Bar. Then, whenever you are on a page you want to test, you just click on the link to the bookmark and it’ll run the script on the page you are viewing and display the results. The advantage of these is that they work in any browser.
