From the terminal, do
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu '<true/>'
There's some pretty cool stuff in there.

The KHTML rendering core is Open Source. Safari is not.

What's the menu contain? Also, to take it off, would it be 'false' in place of true?

sorry, misunderstood. I suppose that Safari has a modified core, which is released (GPL and all), while the GUI is a closed frontend for it.
too bad, would have gotten great press if apple opened the entire browser...can't port the frontend when it's for the windowserver anyway.

Yes, to take it off, you use 'false' instead of true.
The menu contains items that show you the DOM tree for the current webpage (useful for web developers), a listing of items that were rendered on the current page, the view hierarchy for the current page,
<pant pant pant>
a "snippet" editor which lets you type arbitrary bits of HTML and see them rendered in realtime (this alone will make me keep Safari on my machine!!!), a window with detailed info on what's in your cache, a page that lets you do speed tests on various websites using various methods,
<hrahhhrg pant pant wheeeze>
a selector for whether or not Forward & Back uses the cache, a listing of all mouse & keyboard shortcuts, a menu that lets you open your front page in a different web browser, a menu that lets you choose your user-agent, a menu that shows & lets you turn on & off the protocols supported by Safari, and some vaguely cryptic settings for secure pages.
Wheeeee...
Another fun move you can pull is (this one's untested by me):
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitMinimumFontSize '<integer>9</integer>'
You can probably guess what that does...
Here are some more fun 'defaults': - WebKitCursiveFont
- WebKitFantasyFont
- WebKitFixedFont
- WebKitSansSerifFont
- WebKitSerifFont

Ah so mostly dev techy stuff. Ok, I see why Apple hid it, so I'll leave it covered because most of that stuff is over my head.

Soon after I tried this, Safari crashed and refused to restart, even though the font size was modified until that point.
I had to trash my prefs and caches (after a few tries) to get back to a Safari that would run.
