This is my preference. I think the only reason T-Mobile offers unlimited music streaming is that it typically consumes <= 256 kbps. I would much rather they offered an "economy mode" switch where I could throttle my entire de

Of course. I somehow missed the signed part, and now I feel stupid.

> they have signed checksums with the releases Which might be OK for making sure the download isn't corrupted, but are useless for defending against an attacker, since the checksums themselves are hosted on a non-HTTPS site.

The Tree Style Tab extension [1] makes a world of difference here. My tab bar basically becomes a stack of ephemeral bookmarks. [1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

I don't know of one, but Firebug has a nice cookie viewer/editor. To be fair, the Chrome cookie tool seems to be useless for anything other than deleting cookies, which is why I keep the EditThisCookie extension installed. https
