Tools
Here are a listing of tools lenders might find useful. All software is presented as is, with no implied warranty/liability. Use at your own risk.
For the following scripts, you might need to change your browser. It's worth it, trust us. Here are the instructions for getting started:
Browser
Google Chrome
Use Chrome extension Prosperity
Mozilla Firefox
- Use Mozilla Firefox as a browser (I've tested older versions, 1.0.7 works)
http://www.mozilla.org/download.html
- Download GreaseMonkey (0.5.3 should work)
http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
Once you install GreaseMonkey, you will need to close and then restart Firefox. Once this is done, open any of the files in the list below.
A bar will appear at the top of the screen, indicating that you've found a valid GreaseMonkey script.
Click 'Install' to install.
Note: GreaseMonkey is a very powerful tool. Be careful with the scripts you download/install. If you have any questions about the legitimacy of the script, confirm with author first.
