Aren't you glad that we live in a day and age that
embraces individuality. To each his own-whatever floats
your boat-your cup of tea lifestyle, also transcends to
our web life. Please, do not accept default as the
norm. That is simply unacceptable.
Let us take for example the OS X Safari. Others may
dismiss it and go for a Firefox instead. After all,
with its extensibility, growing user base, near
flawless page rendering and open source nature, it is
proving to be quite a challenge for its competitors and
a win-win situation for users. However, one thing that
Safari can boast of, is its browser load time and page
rendering that Firefox doesn't even come close to.
Just remember that sometimes the most bland outfit can
be pulled off using the right accessories. Details are
key. Same with these very useful applications, you can
use to make your Safari the most happening browser out
there.

Web Inspector
The Web Inspector, is the latest addition to the WebKit
that lets you browse the live DOM hierarchy in a
compact HUD style window, catering to the needs of web
developers and WebKit hackers alike.

easily manage large nested pages and focus on a
particular sub-tree with minimal indentation.
