this is fast and works nice... BUT BUT BUT is VERY DANGEROUS when working with content management systems when you have a logged session. As it actually sends the http request, it also fires the cms controls, if there are any on the page. In my case, using Liferay, it removed all portlets (articles) from the page by virtually 'clicking' thos little crosses which are meant to remove them.

Would have loved it but I need a link checker that marks anchor tags as a different color than green. For example, A href with value "#notvalid" shows up as green even though the link does not work. If you made it a different color (perhaps yellow) to indicate that it may be valid.

Clicking on the button has no effect. Tried various pages including a simple page with just some text and a link. Nothing.
