Google’s new UI refresh has been a step backwards. The biggest crime for me is the now in chrome when you right click you have to sometimes scroll to see the “inspect element” button, the most used thing in the context menu for me now hidden and requires more effort. I hope many bad and painful things happens to all the people who thought that was a good idea.


" the most used thing in the context menu for me now hidden"

For me as well, but I think it is crazy, that it is usually still enabled by default for EVERYONE. I had to calm quite some people, that they did not break their internet accidently for opening dev tools. Now it surely would be nice, if the majority could make use of that button, but the majority ain't devs and so they should not have that option one click away from buttons they do care about, like copy and paste.


Safari has a simple, application-wide setting "enable dev tools" (or something like that).


Right click and press Q.


That actually does not work.


c-s-i or f12 are handy too


F12 doesn’t take you directly to the element in the inspector.


damn that was a threat lol
