Safari's Hidden Debug Menu

  • July 7th, 2006 (4 years ago)

I just discovered that Safari has a hidden debug menu that you can enable with the following command in Terminal: 

defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu -bool true

After restarting Safair there is now a "Debug" menu with lots of functionality. Things like:

  • Show DOM tree
  • Turn On/Off RSS Support
  • Log Javascript Exceptions
  • Show Javascript Console
  • A bookmark to the Shortcuts page at file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Shortcuts.html
  • Import bookmarks from NS/IE/Mozilla
  • Open page with an alternate browser
  • User Agent settings
  • Change the supported protocols (http:, ftp:, etc)
