Checked
Where Chmod Calculator is better
- The whole site is the calculator: nine checkboxes, two fields and a short explanation on one page, with nothing else to navigate.
- The domain is the tool's name, so it's easy to type from memory.
- It's plain HTML and jQuery and still ships shims for old Internet Explorer, so it works in very old browsers.
Where BrowserUtils is better
- No third-party ads. Chmod-calculator.com runs two Google AdSense units.
- One-click presets for common modes (755, 644, 600, 700, 777, 444), each labeled with what it's for.
- Copy buttons for both the octal and the symbolic value.
- Related server tools on the same site: a .htpasswd generator, a .htaccess generator and an nginx config generator.
