FoxyProxy
FoxyProxy is an advanced browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers that replaces and vastly extends native proxy settings by letting users create, manage, and switch among multiple proxy server profiles with fine-grained control; it supports automatic switching based on URL patterns (wildcards or regular expressions), individual browser tabs, Firefox containers, or private windows, as well as manual selection via colored icons. Users can define inclusion/exclusion rules, test patterns with a built-in tester, toggle WebRTC to limit IP leakage, and import/export full configurations or just rules for backup or sharing, with optional synchronization across instances via browser sync. The interface includes keyboard shortcuts, visible color/country flag cues per proxy, advanced logging for debugging, which proxy was used when, and quick-add flows to capture new rules.

Telepresence
Telepresence streamlines your local development process, enabling immediate feedback. You can launch your local environment on your laptop, equipped with your preferred tools, while Telepresence seamlessly connects them to the microservices and test databases they rely on. It simplifies and expedites collaborative development, debugging, and testing within Kubernetes environments by establishing a seamless connection between your local machine and shared remote Kubernetes clusters.
Why Telepresence:
Faster feedback loops: Spend less time building, containerizing, and deploying code. Get immediate feedback on code changes by running your service in the cloud from your local machine.
Shift testing left: Create a remote-to-local debugging experience. Catch bugs pre-production without the configuration headache of remote debugging.
Deliver better, faster user experience: Get new features and applications into the hands of users faster and more frequently.

Chrome DevTools
Chrome DevTools is a set of web developer tools built directly into the Google Chrome browser. DevTools can help you edit pages on-the-fly and diagnose problems quickly, which ultimately helps you build better websites, faster. There are many ways to open DevTools, because different users want quick access to different parts of the DevTools UI. When you want to work with the DOM or CSS, right-click an element on the page and select Inspect to jump into the Elements panel. Or press Command+Option+C (Mac) or Control+Shift+C (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS). When you want to see logged messages or run JavaScript, press Command+Option+J (Mac) or Control+Shift+J (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS) to jump straight into the Console panel. Toggle various overlays and speed up DOM tree navigation with badges. The main uses of the Chrome DevTools Console are logging messages and running JavaScript.

weinre
weinre is WEb INspector REmote. Pronounced like the word "winery". Or maybe like the word "weiner". weinre is a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for Firefox) and web inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you to debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone. weinre was built in an age when there were no remote debuggers available for mobile devices. Since then, some platforms are starting to provide remote debugger capabilities, as part of their platform toolset. weinre reuses the user interface code from the web inspector project at WebKit, so if you've used Safari's web inspector or Chrome's Developer Tools, weinre will be very familiar. In normal usage, you will be running the client application in a browser on your desktop/laptop, and running a target web page on your mobile device. weinre does not make use of any 'native' code in the browser, it's all plain old boring JavaScript.
