Safari / Webkit Developer Tools

Safari ships with awesome developer tools (similar to Firebug), but it’s disabled by default. To activate the developer tools in Mac OS X, quit any running instances of Safari (or Webkit), open up the Terminal and type

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Once you restart Safari you’ll notice that there’s a “Develop” menu in the the toolbar, and you can right click on elements to bring up the Inspector.
