The day that Chrome gets a Firebug tool...

[radiosilence]

...is the day I will officially write off IE and FireFox for good, save for checking my design work for x-browser compat.

Please someone make a Firebug for Chrome!

What is Firebug, anyways? I'm confused...

Isn't that what "Inspect Source" does? Or am I thinking of something else?

Firebug allows you to modify the source code in real time as well as view it.

I just installed Chrome on this machine and had a devil of a time finding the tools.... i just happened to open a tab called JavaScript Console under Developer and found something like IE's Developer Toolbar, but no way to change anything. Just wish the name of it was a little more intuitive -- i shouldn't need to luck into it. But now i've found it and it works nicely. I'm not seeing any other way to get there or to change the code temporarily. Am i missing a plugin

What's the Chrome Element Inspector? Is that a plugin that i apparently need?

chrome element inspector isn't a plugin it comes with all versions of chrome that i know of... just right click and go to " Element Inspector "

I don't understand why you guys need FireBug.

Chromes Element Inspector works just fine, and in the buildbot releases of Chrome the Element Inspector is much better than in the Dev, beta and stable releases.

Firebug and The Element inspector I currently use (chrome version 4.0.202.0) pretty much both have exactly the same functionality except I have to say chromes Element Inspector looks MUCH nicer than Firebug especially with Chromes Resource Inspector (not element inspector).

To put it frankly, it would be a considerable waste of a developers time to port Firebug to Google Chrome when the Element inspector in chrome pretty much does the same things as Firebug, looks nicer.

I use Chromes resource inspector all the time when developing extensions, and I really can't see Firebug working well with Chromes extensions.

The Chrome Inspectors Console also has an Auto complete function while you are typing in commands. and you can log information into the console window for things like testing pages for example.

Chrome Inspectors Console Also has EXCELLENT error handling for pages. for example, you have forgotten to close a div tag, the error will appear in the console, double click on it and it will take you to where the error occurred.

To be honest with you, if I was you I would start to get used to chromes resource inspector, once you know all of its features you will realize that it's functionality is higher than Firebug's.



IF YOU ARE REALLY CONFUSED!!! there are 5 pictures atttached to this post which should help you along your way

You can't edit source HTML/CSS in Chrome, you can only modify existing attributes/styles. Inspector doesn't come close to Firebug.
