Firebug is one of the most popular web development tool for Firefox which allows you to HTML and modify style and layout in real-time and also accurately analyze network usage and performance. Firebug Lite version is now available for Chrome. Firebug Lite is not a substitute for Firebug, or Chrome Developer Tools, but this new extension can be used in conjunction with these tools.
Firebug Lite provides the rich visual representation we are used to see in Firebug when it comes to HTML elements, DOM elements, and Box Model shading. It provides also some cool features like inspecting HTML elements with your mouse, and live editing CSS properties.
