<p>The Develop menu of Safari adds a variety of additional features to the web browser, including the inspector and error consoles, javascript debugging tools, the ability to disable various page elements, enable the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/04/16/safari-in-mac-os-x-lion-adds-do-not-track-support-heres-how-to-enable-it/">‘Do Not Track’ feature</a>, use WebGL acceleration, and it offers a simple way to change the browsers user agent. </p>

<p>These features are obviously intended for web developers, but they’re useful beyond that too. Here’s how to enable the hidden Develop menu in Safari:</p>

<ul>

<li>Pull down the “Safari” menu and choose “Preferences”</li>

<li>Click on the “Advanced” tab</li>

<li>Check the box next to “Show Develop menu in menu bar”</li>

</ul>

<p>The Developer menu has been around for quite some time, but in a recent article on <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/31/spoof-your-own-mac-os-x-10-8-user-agent/">how to spoof an OS X 10.8 browser user agent using Safari or curl at the command line</a>, we somehow failed to mention how to enable the menu… oops. Now you know.</p>

<p>Note: the Develop menu is different than the Debug menu.</p>
