Safari’s Web Inspector
We’ve been performance tuning Scoodi for the last few days, making extensive use of FireBug and YSlow in Firefox. Surely there’d have to be something similar for Safari? Please don’t make me start Firefox when I need to do this sort of work…
I’d heard about Safari’s Web Inspector and Drosera a while ago, but the latest Safari 3.1 makes these easily available in a new “Develop” menu (enabled in Safari’s preferences). The Web Inspector is nothing short of spectacular, it seems to have a lot of FireBug’s features (I’ve not found anything apart from the selection widget that FireBug has over it), wrapped up in the usual Mac eye candy.
Here’s a screen shot of it in action against the Scoodi UAT site, showing HTTP headers.
You can also attach it to the browser window (FireBug style) with the icon on the bottom left. I noticed this morning also that IE 8 now bundles a developer console also.
