I was looking into Safari before the post but didn't pull devtools from them. So it's a Webkit feature. Thanks correction. I use FF 3.5 as well for browsing and web development. Safari and Chromium really are coming fast. I'm looking forward to using them soon. Hi John, thanks for the followup on that.

Actually, you're looking at the <a href="http://webkit.org/" rel="nofollow">Webkit</a> web inspector, available to any browser using the Webkit framework. Firefox users can get something fairly similar by installing the <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com/" rel="nofollow">Firebug</a> extension. That said, Chromium is looking very impressive: FF's recent version 3.5 is still my favourite browser, but the rise of Safari and Chromium means that position is no longer looking as unassailable as it once was.
