While I don't see a lot of problems with this technically, don't you think it's kind of dangerous to advise people to put their hardware mnemonic into a webpage on a hot computer? Doesn't that really defeat the purpose of a hardware wallet? I feel like you need to have some more disclaimers about how intrinsically dangerous this is!

@Steve132 Thanks for your input. I have updated the First Steps, 01. Generate the list of Path/Address/Public Key/Private Key, and Disclaimer sections on the dangers of not creating a new wallet and transferring the BTC to the new wallet before starting the fork claim.

Also, advising people to use findmycoins.ninja can be used to correlate their balances with their browser session and/or IP address. This is something we do not advise at forkdrop for this reason. https://forkdrop.io/#table-exchanges shows which exchanges are actually open for deposit for various coins and tracks the KYC status.

I have few Q.
I have btc on non sw address in Ledger. Do I have to move it to sw address
to be able to pay smaller fees now and to use Lighting network?

You will need to move it to a wallet that is able to create LN channel open transactions, which is certain to support Segwit. The Eclair wallet will give a Segwit address to send BTC to. If you are wishing to just experiment with LN, I would suggest not moving your main savings onto a wallet like this until the LN software and network gets better - it is still very much early days. Instead it might make sense to purchase a small amount of BTC separately just for the purposes of experimenting with LN.
How to do it in most secured way
The safest way to move BTC off a Ledger wallet is to use the normal method the manufactures intended. If there are some advanced tasks you wish to do such as claiming forks with the bitcoin_fork_claimer tool, my site has a couple end-to-end guides for doing that safely: https://forkdrop.io/novices-guide-to-claiming-forked-bitcoin-value

To get the segwit 'discount' on all future transactions you need to have
your outputs in a segwit address. Consolidating your outputs into a segwit
address now while the fees are low with a low-priority transaction that
isn't time sensitive is a smart idea.
Doing so will *NOT* immediately get you access to the lightning network.
In order to get that you must fund an on-chain transaction to a payment
channel to a lightning node to open liquidity with that node. It's more
complicated than that and I'm not going to post a guide on how to do it
here.

I just want to add that most of the BTC forks, except BCH, aren't worth shit to risk your precious BTC. So if you are unsure of what you are doing, stay out of trying to get the free forks of BTC.

Can you take a look at forkdrop/forkdrop_suite git project?
You are a proactive guy, so it would be great if you could assets scripts
on that project and give a short tutorial on them.
Git project is linked to this site
Forkdrop.io and I think it can be very helpful to new people in crypto.
I'm not associated with for drop.io just stamble on it, and don't have php
experience and Linux experience so I need little help.
I have big number of btc addresses with small balances and its tedious work
to claim forks...

We have a bunch of guides for Forkdrop Suite at: https://forkdrop.io/suite
If you have a number of addresses and balances, following the Intermediate's guide is advisable: https://forkdrop.io/intermediates-guide-to-efficient-forked-bitcoin-value-claiming-record-keeping
By the by, blockchain.info's .onion gateway is down this week which is defeating claim-prep.py and I am working on a patch to utilize Electrum servers via Tor instead. That should be ready in a day or two. Will announce on twitter.com/forkdrop
