Free tools for power surfers

Bookmarklets are little JavaScript programs that operate from within Windows Explorer and Netscape bookmarks. Typically they are used to process web pages but they can do other things.  For example, I use one to count the number of words in a highlighted section of a local document. This site offers dozens of bookmarklets and they are all free. Applications range from emailing a friend a highlighted section of a web page to a neat bookmarklet that reveals what information is being captured when a site drops you a cookie. http://www.bookmarklets.com/
