Web Tools for IE 6?

[creole]

In IE 5.5 there was a suite of tols that you could install (called web tools or tools for developers). It added several options to the right click menu inside IE such as "open frame in new window", "zoom in" and "zoom out". Does anyone know if MS has those tools for IE 6.

I also could not find one for IE6 but now use IEBooster which is pretty cool and has all those features and a few more (plus its free!)

Use Bookmarklets

Use javascript saved as favorites/bookmarks.

Bookmarklets are simple tools that extend the surf and search capabilities of Netscape and Explorer web browsers.

Bookmarklets are free.

Bookmarklets allow you to:

* Modify the way you see someone else's webpage.
* Extract data from a webpage.
* Search more quickly, and in ways not possible with a search engine.
* Navigate in new ways.

...and more. Over 150 bookmarklets are available.

Bookmarklets work on all platforms (Windows, Macintosh, Unix,...)

You do not have to download or install software to use Bookmarklets.

Easy to create custom ones too.

If I'm not mistaken, those tools work for IE6 too, you just have to install them after you install the new browser.

Yep

"Note: These tools are only recommended for Internet Explorer 5."
But they work in IE6 too

Whoah...this looks SWEET! Are there any downsides to it? Ads, annoying popups, spyware?

No, it is pretty clean.
There are ads for IEBooster on the page that shows the source and stylesheets etc..
