ClickToFlash is a plugin (not an input manager) that stops Flash loading until the user approves it in Safari (and other WebKit browsers). It started life on code.google.com but that's now 403ing; this has some nice patches (such as option-click to whitelist), and I trust the repository owner. Well worth installing.

The article title goes on to say "except in one browser", but then that's pretty much broken, if you ask me. It's annoying; this is a CSS 1 property, and it really should be supported.

The Safari built-in equivalent to Firebug gets more tweaks. The editable style rules, metrics and properties look good, as does the ability to search by CSS selectors. Looking forward to an official Safari 4 release (or indeed a new ADC beta). (It'd be nice to see in Chrome too...)

Looks like a reasonable list, but I completely disagree on the text-shadow bit- Safari knows what it's doing and the "fix" makes it look awfully spindly. Still, will be referred to.

Jeremy Keith's write-up of Michael Smith's survey of the browser landscape. Covers development tools - Dragonfly, Firebug, etc - as well as capabilities for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and so on.

On the correct CSS incantations for fonts (and the implementations that understand them). I'll have to have a look at this for husk.org's tightly kerned Helvetica at some point.

I should have a good look at this and see if the safe files are related at all to the xattr settings discussed earlier.

I was half-expecting this lot to have to wait for 10.6, but apparently not; perhaps Safari's new life as a dual-platform app has led to lots of releases. Fun toys, including a Developer menu and local storage (using the HTML5 API).

Every time they update this it gets better. CSS editing and SQLite local database inspection? Yes please. It's now getting to the point where a comparison with Firebug has both with missing features.

Turns out there's even more interesting stuff showing up in WebKit. I just hope it gets released before 10.6. Meanwhile, David Emery's blog has some interesting use of images for indexing.

Good review, noticing things I had: "Firebug’s coup-de-grace and what makes it an invaluable tool for debugging or for pre-flighting some change to your CSS before getting into your editor. The good news is that a bug has already been filed"

This looks a lot more like Firebug (functionally), iTunes (sidebar-wise) and a lot less like a HUD (graphically). Now, what happens when you install Safari 3 + nightlies? And what's this noise about the loss of View Source?

Looks like it is possible to get the Web Inspector, but only by installing a nightly webkit build. Probably because it's not all there yet (on Windows anyway).

I was trying to do this but was editing Defaults.plist not Preferences.plist. Now, how do you get the Web Inspector working?

Another one to file under "to play with when I finally install 10.4" - full screen image viewer addon to Safari

I tried this, and also found it (very) wanting. Still, an interesting idea, and hopefully it'll get a bit mature.

JavaScript debugger for Safari/Webkit, in the current nightlies (enabled via defaults)

More like Greasemonkey than SurfRabbit. Free, anyway.
