    I'm not sure. I just use Safari and would prefer not to download a whole new browser just for a simple tool.

    A very good tool to find relevant Do Follow Blogs to comment on is Fast Blog Finder. You can find the link in my signature. This tool will save you hours of work which you will have to do if you go for the manual option.

    You can add this javascript as a bookmark. Then you can just click on it to see which links are nofollow.

    javascript:(function()%7Bvar%20links=document.getElementsByTagName('a');for(i=0;i%3Clinks.length;i++)%7Bvar%20theLink=links%5Bi%5D;if(theLink.getAttribute('rel')=='nofollow')%7BtheLink.style.backgroundColor='red';theLink.style.color='white';theLink.style.fontWeight='bold';theLink.style.textDecoration='none';%7D%7D%7D)();
    Code (markup):

    Or (since your on a Mac) Press and Hold CTRL when you click a link and Click "Properties". It will give you details of the link there and if it is NoFollow.

    If you are using Firefox, you may download an add-on of SearchStatus, and all the links with no-follow attribute will be marked as red.

    I have seen many times that it does not count link withing attribute

    rel="external nofollow".

    Which works same as the rel="nofollow"

    Best way to check source of page and if there is any attribute containing in your link than it's nofollow link.
