We're obsessed with making web developers' lives easier at Browserling, so we created a collection of the most popular developer tools all in one place. We love simplicity so we made them very simple and obvious how to use. No ads, bloated dialogs, or useless checkboxes. Just tools. All free. Press button, get result. Here they are!

It is a tricky problem to get to a truly public space from our current private and commercial ones? I recall an idea that I think was talked about in Scotland about giving everyone a domain name when they were born linked to some sort of identifier. Something like that could be linked to different services at different times and deal with the fast pace changes in internet services.
