When working on a project, after each CSS or JavaScript update, the need to refresh the browser is a time-loss (and it is usually done 10s of times).

Tincr, a Chrome extension, solves this by integrating itself into Chrome’s Developer Tools and auto-refreshing the browser once these files are changed.

It is not bound to any IDE and works with all of them. There are several built-in project types (Ruby on Rails, Chrome extensions, Atlasian projects..) and custom ones can be created for any custom CSS/JS structure.

Also, it -kinda- converts the Developer Tools into an IDE by adding an auto-save feature to changes made to the code from Developer Tools

If you are planning to create a Chrome browser extension, Alex Wolkov, a talented extension developer has created a tool to ease the process.

It is called Extensionizr which enables anyone to create a custom skeleton for the extension to be created.

The tool has various options to choose like: the extension type, background page, content scripts, permissions to Chrome modules and more.

Extensionizr is a good start to create a Chrome extension and it is also open source.

When reading a long article on the web, we sometimes leave it in the middle to continue later (an e-mail arrives, door rings, etc.) and have difficulty on remembering the line we were at.

youRhere is a project, which is available as a jQuery plugin and Chrome extension, that brings a solution to this issue both for you and your readers.

Once the jQuery version is installed on a web page, a marker follows the mouse besides each line and double clicking any line gets highlighted + stored with HTML5 localStorage. So, you can easily see the marked line anytime, even if you have closed and re-opened that URL.

The Chrome extension is for yourself to get the functionality on any web page without the need for the jQuery plugin being installed. It also offers a "social share" feature.

Page Speed, the popular Firebug/Chrome add-on -by Google- for evaluating the performance of web pages now gets an online version.

It offers a very similar functionality with the Firebug version, analyzes the page performance and comes with suggestions that are categorized in priorities to improve it.

This free service also has a new feature: "suggestions for the mobile version of a web page" which are tuned for the unique characteristics of mobile devices.
