Automatic Email Munger: hide your email address from spammers

Automatic Email Munger: hide your email address from spammers: "Automatic Email Munger
An antispam tool for hiding your email address in a web page from spamrobots"

In HTML, you can encode (entify) any character as &#n; where n is the ASCII 7-bit value of the character. (More precisely it is mapped on the ISO-8859-1 character set, which is a superset of ASCII.) Thus A in the source of a HTML page shows an a when the page is visualized in a browser.

Hence, to hide an email address just substitute one or more letters with their entities, e.g. dave@domain.com may become dAve@domAin.com. The browser interprets it, so from the point of view of human visitors there is no difference. However, as spam robots parse the HTML source of the page, they harvest the obfuscated (munged) address -- which is invalid."

Firefox Extensions

I have become rather enamoured with the Firefox browser. I love the tabbed browsing. By clicking ctrl-t I get new windows to work in. Plus, most of the ad-ware garbage that is out there is for IE. I will be adding to this list as I find new stuff.

This first link is to the Extension Room at mozdev.org. It has most of what you can get in extensions for Firefox.

Extensions:
"Blog This" extension.
After installing this you and simply click and drag over any text on the net, and then right click and select "Blog This". It will pull up the Blogger dialogue.

SpiderZilla there that is the most amazing extension. You can download entire sites with this puppy! I just downloaded a complete free online classical guitar lessons site. After installing it is found in the Tools menu.

Search Toolbar | Mozilla Firefox Extension: "SearchStatus is a toolbar extension for users of both Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, designed for the highly specialised needs of search engine marketers. The toolbar provides extensive search-related information about a site, all conveniently displayed in one discreet and compact toolbar.

For every site you visit using Firefox or Mozilla, SearchStatus lets you view its Google PageRank, Google Category, Alexa popularity ranking, Alexa incoming links, Alexa related links and backward links from Google, Yahoo! and MSN - all in one place. This combined search-related information means you can view not only the link importance of a site (according to Google), but also its traffic importance (according to Alexa), so providing a balanced view of site efficacy.

The SearchStatus Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox extension appears unobtrusively at the bottom of the browser on the status bar. If you choose to view backward links for a particular page, they open in new tabs in the same browser window. Disable the automatic Google and Alexa queries and they fold away from view."

ConQuery

Contextual Search with Firefox: "You can speed things up for these types of queries by using Firefox's built-in contextual search function that lets you highlight words on a page and run a Google search on those terms by right clicking your mouse and selecting the 'search web for' menu item. This contextual search feature is great, but you're limited to Google results.

ConQuery is a simple tool that enables a contextual search function for all of your Firefox search plugins. ConQuery adds a 'Query to...' menu item to the right click context menu. To use it, simply highlight text on a web page, right click and select 'Query to...' and choose any of the Firefox search plugins you've installed.

The Firefox version of the autofill function in IE Googlebar.
