As for the PS2 Truck Professional Diagnostic Tool, our technicians perfectly mix appearances with practicality. With jumbo size, true-color, full touching screen and simple body, customers will operate PS2 more intuitively and easily. The capability of the built-in highly processing chip could reach 400MHZ.PS2 truck diagnostic ability is superior to the common used ARM7 chip. Such excellent performance of the chip and the superior diagnostic module will guarantee the accuracy and real-time function. The demonstration for data stream of PS2 shows its accuracy and rapidity which will enhance the convenience of our guests.

This extension is incredible! Thank you, saves me valuable time when I spot something that inspires me on a website and want to know how it works, as well as introducing me to more frameworks and libraries and useful tools and being very informative!

Love this plugin, really useful thanks for making it.

I know not explicitly a framework/CMS but would be good if it could detect media queries for responsive sites so I don't have to resize my browser manually every time I visit a new site!

It's neither Drupal nor Joomla because it's ASPX files on that website. Both Drupal and Joomla uses PHP.

I wish this extension could pickup what CMS is behind http://www.savethechildren.ca/

It looks like Drupal or Joomla, but the extension doesn't specify anything. It just says jQuery....

Drupal 7 adds this:
<meta name="Generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" />

Can you add this to the sniffer?

You should add ModX to the list, it's growing exponentially.

Add CSS3PIE support and if possible Drupal Version Detection.

Awesome Extension. Love it.

Submitted by DonQuicky on Sun, 07/03/2011 - 06:36.

Great extension and as a webdesigner I use it very often!! But my website [http://www.codeplaza.com] and some other websites I made using MODx, MODx has not been detected.

Please update the MODx-detection in this extension.

This is a very useful tool. I don't know how many times I have been on a webmaster board and someone has ask the question what software is this site running.

This app will answer the majority of those questions. I won't only answer the question for folks now but I will point them to this great tool which should help move more folks over to chrome.

Good Job

I just found this extension and I love it Smile
It's nice to keep an eye out for what lurks on the internet.

One of the Acid3 tests tries to remove the last child of body.
The extension injects a script tag as the last child, so it breaks the test.

The simplest solution is to open the inject.js file (located in the extension folder: homgc... ), and change it such that it injects the script into head instead (last line in the file).

Close and reopen Chrome (or go to extensions page and disable & enable the extension to reload it).

Now the Chrome passes the Acid3 test.
As far as the extension goes I don't see any apparent bugs, but this fix should be confirmed by the author.

I don't know why the script is inserted into body and not head, as it is already set in the manifest to run at document_end, so the DOM is fully loaded by the time it is executed. Perhaps Bao can tell us more

Hope it helps...

This extension makes Chrome fail the Acid3 test (98/100). Nice Drupal site. I use Drupal for just about everything where appropriate.

i think your detection code could be useful for the GNU project to extend the noscript plugin to detect non-trivial javascript code:

http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:FSF/Tasks/ModifyNoScript

maybe you want to share your work with them?

Great tool, this!

The only downside is that passpack.com has this protection that warns about javascript being injected into the page. And the warning pops up every time, because of Chrome Sniffer. Could it be made to exclude certain sites/domains?

Very nice!

Is the extension capable of keeping data to determine most used frameworks and JS libraries?

Any chance a future Version will show the version of the JavaScript frameworks / CMS used ?

@Anonymous for FF there is already a Plugin with the same functionality and more... just forgot the name
