Great News for UI Developers

I am a big fan of Firebug for FireFox - I couldn't have developed a lot of applications without it's help. Of course, the limitation was that you are stuck with testing on FireFox and any cross-browser errors are as usual hard to figure out. Now you can relax!

New Firebug Lite Adds Web Dev Tools to Any Browser

This new version is a significant update to Firebug Lite. While the full power of Firebug still requires Firefox (see our coverage of the recently released Firebug 1.5), Firebug Lite 1.3 adds some great HTML and CSS debugging tools to any browser, including IE6+, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

The lastest beta release of Firebug Lite — which is bookmarklet script that you can add to your browser’s favorites bar — features significant speed boosts and many improvements to the HTML and CSS inspectors. The visual interface of Firebug Lite has also been revamped to match that of Firebug 1.3. For more details on everything that’s new in the Firebug Lite 1.3 beta be sure to check out the release notes.
