Tinker Tester Developer Spy

Handy diagnosis tools for figuring out how web sites work

Features & Capabilities

Have you ever wanted to be able to create specialized breakpoints while debugging a website, on desktop or Android Firefox? Now you can!

Log a stack trace whenever pesky scripts modify a specific element's style properties to certain values.

Start the debugger to get dirt on where those stubborn DOM event listeners are attached to a set of elements, or when they fire.

Prevent document.write from having any effect to spot those tough-to-find issues where ads break your page loads.

Pin-point which of the many places in the scripts where navigator.userAgent or video.src or scrolling properties are the ones actually causing a problem, without the grey hair that results in doing so manually with global search.

But wait, there's more!

Maybe you're more interested in re-mapping a specific network request to a local file, where you can more easily de-minify and test it.

Or maybe you'd like to confirm whether specific HTTP headers are causing an issue by over-riding them, or you feeling like spoofing your geolocation or language to see how a site changes?

There is a whole suite of hooks and tools available in Tinker Tester Developer Spy, the tool being used to help aid webcompat.com site diagnoses!

Is Tinker Tester Developer Spy Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tinker Tester Developer Spy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Tinker Tester Developer Spy has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
