Unleash the power of Safari 3

Many features in the new Safari 3 bundled with Leopard, not everybody would realize but once you know you will definitely be amazed.

Go to Terminal and type to enable this switch.

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true

Or you can use xMod to do the same.

Have you even noticed “Inspect Element” when you ctrl-click on a web page?

Amazingly, it would show a DOM element inspector window or inline below the page! You can inspect the source code in plain text or XML hierarchy, highlight style sheet and check style properties on right panel. It’s so cool for web developer!

And you see Console and Network on lower left-hand corner. I don’t know what’s the use of Console. But if you press on Network, it will bring up another gorgeous view!! It shows how long Safari took to load all the web contents in the page and also their size!
