Firebug vs. Web Developer Toolbar April 27, 2007

In the begining there was only your eyes and the option to inspect the source code of each web page. Then came Firefox (was called Firebird at the time but dropped that name since a DB had it before) and with FF we got plugins — add-ons that can enhance the browser to each one’s desires.

One of the handiest plugins is/was Web Developer Toolbar. With it you can inspect code, do real-time edition, check sizes, validate, outline divs, show names… Very convenient. Then came Firebug, a kind of web developer toolbar. It has the same set of basic features that WDT but they are much more «visual». You can see all the parameters you’ll need and then some.

For the time, and it was recently updated to version 1.04, it’s my favorite tool.
