Hey all
We seem to have numerous threads on lots of different EXIF viewers. Methinks it would be handy to have a list of each browser along with the exif viewer plugins that you could use. For those who need a hand when it comes to computers there will also be installation instructions. If anyone could post in this thread their plugin, which OS and browser it is for, its author website and instructions on how to install, and finally how to use, I will get them into the OP

The metadata tags defined in the Exif standard cover a broad spectrum:
Source: Wikipedia.
- Date and time information. Digital cameras will record the current date and time and save this in the metadata.
- Camera settings. This includes static information such as the camera model and make, and information that varies with each image such as orientation (rotation), aperture, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, and ISO speed information.
- A thumbnail for previewing the picture on the camera's LCD screen, in file managers, or in photo manipulation software.
- Descriptions and copyright information.
