Does IE 8 have any other good add-ons/extensions/plugins other than "Developer toolbar", which is useful for web developer/designer/tester?

A:
Fiddler is good tool for debugging and monitoring requests/responses.

+1. Note that Fiddler can be used as a HTTP proxy (so you can watch/alter any HTTP traffic, not just IE).

A:
IE is a horrible browser for developer tools, just use Firefox where dozens of great addons are available.
Use a valid DOCTYPE in your HTML and get the page working fully in Firefox, then refer back to IE to see that things work right. Using IE as your development platform is like trying to hammer in a screw.

He never said he was using IE as his main development platform. Any web developer knows that more often than not it's not simple to find what's causing problems in IE.
