I have been fan of web browser plugins/add-ons. Be it Mozilla Firefox (http://addons.mozilla.org) or Chrome (http://chrome.google.com/store) plugins/add-ons, they are always a companion for a software tester while testing web applications.

I used these add-ons for the first time during 2010 and I fell for them. I have used Web Developer, Tamper Data, XSS Me, ColorZilla, Firebug, XSS path add-on and many such beautiful & powerful web browser add-ons which have been helpful to me in testing activity.

Below mindmap speaks about various add-ons that I use for smarter testing, and maybe you also want to use them. (Please click on the link below to see the mindmap with add-ons list).
