I've just created a search and replace extension for Google chrome that allows you to search input fields for text and replace them with a different text. I recently had to replace the same text in over 150 input fields and I wrote a script to do this. I figured that this functionality should be present in Chrome by default and so I turned the script into an extension.

New cookie legislation, set by the ICO, comes into effect in the UK from May this year. It dictates that web sites much seek user consent before storing and accessing data on their machines (e.g. cookies). Similar legal changes are also pending in other EU countries but the UK is the first country where the directive is becoming a part of law and, as such, companies are going to have to demonstrate to the ICO that they are taking sufficient steps to comply with the legislation or face a fine. Many web sites would simply fail to work properly without the use of cookies, which makes finding a solution inevitable.
