My Own Percept

You are a Web developer/designer , I believe you have used Firebug extension in Firefox to track bugs or to test your hot CSS changes before coding using your favourite editor.

What about if you ever have tried Google Chrome browser and a new love story starts .. Leave Firefox ? or forget about your new love ?

Sure there is a “solution” and it is named Firebug Lite : a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named “Firefox”.

Just insert this line of code to load Firebug Lite in a specific page you want to debug :

<script src="http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js" type="text/javascript"><!--mce:0--></script>

Also, you can simply drag the red bug icon below to your bookmark toolbar then you will be able to use FB Lite with any page :

<a href="javascript:var firebug=document.createElement('script');firebug.setAttribute('src','http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js');document.body.appendChild(firebug);(function(){if(window.firebug.version){firebug.init();}else{setTimeout(arguments.callee);}})();void(firebug);">Firebug Lite</a>

All basic commands of Firebug are supported by this Lite version. I have tried it with Google Chrome .. It’s not as smooth as in Forefox .. I hope that a native Firebug extension for Google Chrome and others webkit based browsers will see the light soon. As I believe that the Lite version is not a real replacement for the Native Firefox extension.
