Enabling the "Develop" menu in Safari

Tim Riley 2008.04.10

Safari’s got some increasingly useful developer tools lately, but the menu to access these isn’t shown by default.

Edit: For Safari 3.1, all you need to do is check “Show Develop menu” in Preferences > Advanced.  So easy!

To enable the “Develop” menu in Safari on OS X, open a terminal and run the following:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Then restart Safari and you should have to the web inspector, network timeline, awesome user agent selector, and more.

See Apple’s Developer FAQ for more details on developing with Safari.
