I am generally a Safari user to do my web browsing unless I am debugging a web site - then I use Firefox because of the great web developer extensions. I cannot believe I did not know this before, but if you want to quickly view the source of anything (I just used it to debug a RSS feed issue) you just need to type in: “view-source:url” (ex: view-source:http://www.jappler.com). This is extremely helpful and pretty darn cool - and saves me a page load. Nice work!

My preferred browser is Safari but when I need to do any serious debugging, I use Firefox because of the web developer, firebug, and yslow (for firebug) addons.
In the most recent update of Safari (Safari 3.1), we now have the option to show a “Developer” menu (without any hacks) when using the browser.

There are all kinds of goodies in the “Developer menu - one which I will end up using quite a bit: Web Inspector which is helpful for a number of things (viewing code for errors, optimization, even CSS editing if you want in the snippet editor).

There are other nice options as well such as a quick and easy way to “Disable Cache”, Disable Images, etc. If you do any web development and are a Mac user - make sure you check this out.

Great work on the update!

I know I generally post before my daily intake of caffeine, but this morning while going through my news via RSS, I had to do a double take when I read that there is now a microsoft firefox 2007 professional edition. As a web developer, I will be very curious to just where Microsoft goes with this new “version”. I have to say I am a bit scared after reading the full feature list because of this: “Microsoft Firefox 2007 will support many of the new Microsoft standards on the web to make browsing the web a richer experience and easier to develop for.” Yikes. Here we go.
