If you’re a web developer, this post by the Safari team has exciting news about their new “Web Inspector,” an advanced DOM inspector. You can use WebKit just like Safari; download the latest build, an application called WebKit, and when launched it shows up as Safari, and acts just like Safari, but with the latest new features. The Web Inspector is pretty cool, and beats the heck out of anything else I’ve seen, though to be fair I only do this stuff occasionally.
