What are best firebug equivalents for other browsers?

Question

I sometimes need to debug JS in other browsers, and it would be really nice if they all had Firebug - failing that, what's the closest they have?

Answer 1

Opera has the excellent dragonfly developer console, which can profile your code (to find bottlenecks and redundent code) as well as step through breakpoints.

Answer 2

• Firebug Lite - any up-to-date browser, but limited
• IE - number of options depending of IE version and do you have Visual Studio
• Opera - Dragonfly
• Webkit based browsers have inspector and debugger in menu

IMHO Firebug is the best tool but could be used only on Firefox

Answer 3

For Safari and Google Chrome, the Developer Tools.

Just right-click anywhere and select "Inspect Element", or use the Ctrl + Shift + J shortcut:

Answer 4

IE has the developer toolbar.

Answer 5

IE8 - Developer Tools (F12)
IE6,7,8 - Visual Studio/Microsoft Script Debugger/DynaTrace (for tracing JS, not debugging)
Chrome, Safari - Developer Tools.

Answer 6

Firebug can be used in other browser with it's javascript version : hhttp://getfirebug.com/firebuglite

Anyway, in Safari there is Web Inspector which is brilliant.

How about Firebug Lite? It claims to work in IE, Opera and Safari by simply being a Javascript file.
