What shocks me is there were 324 people out there that actually use IE to develop.

I was playing around with Chrome’s web inspector — and I swear it looks like they completely used Safari’s Web Inspector. The nomenclature, the layout, the graphics, EVERYTHING is identical to Safari’s Web Inspector. It’s quite creepy. But, I can’t complain. I think Safari 4’s Web Inspector is flat-out amazing. I just wish it had the ruler/dimensions feature from Firebug, which lets you visualize sizes better. It’s feature for viewing dimensions/padding/width/margins isn’t as nice as Firebug’s.

Over and out.

I’d swap Firefox & Safari, but otherwise it’s pretty much as I would have expected.

IE’s 5th position just goes to show that our little niche group of pixel enthusiasts are fairly far removed from the mainstream. If only every interwebs pole showed the same result!!

It’s really good achievement for Chrome to get third position which is a new launched browser.

Oh, and this is the reason I can’t stand to open Firefox:

I think you should poll firefox users to see how many of them have tried other browsers. I would think a good deal of them feel they have the best browser, so they’ll not even bother.

On my Mac I love iCab :)
Since years.
Did anybody vote for that? Just nosy 8-)

But for daily use Safari 4.

Kind regards

In addition to right- or control-clicking and selecting “Inspect Element,” if you just go to the Web Inspector (command+option+i) you just click on the magnifying glass on the bottom left, basically the same as clicking “inspect” in Firebug. Mouse over the page and the different areas and objects highlight, click and it selects the line in the Inspector.

And AC already mentioned, you can edit the CSS too.

”I think most people are in agreement that you just can’t beat Firebug“ — I don’t think so. IE8 devtools are sometimes better.
