Does this add anything above and beyond the already included developer tools, which I already access with ctrl+shift+I and ctrl+shift+J (on the Linux dev channel)?

Yes, it has options similar to the Web Developer extension for Firefox, such as disabling specific stylesheets, resizing the window or outlining block level elements (which I've always found to be very useful).

It's not as nice/refined as the Web Developer extension of course, for example that 'outline block level elements' readjusts the whole page which it does not do in firefox (which is why I found it useful in firefox, it didn't actually add a 1px border).

So yes, a bunch of bullshit that was nice in Phoenix 0.3 back in 2003, but has been useless since the dawn of Firebug and rich web inspectors.

You have a nice interface to the DOM. Use it, not some mediocre bundle of bookmarklets as a browser extension.

Hit Command+Alt+I for the web inspector. Quite nice. However there are some added features in this (resolution, outlining, form state manipulation).

[adamhowell]

No "Edit CSS" or keyboard shortcuts.

I do look forward, though, to switching from Firefox once these crucial features -- for me at least -- are in there.

If I had my handy Ctrl-Shift-E, I'd no longer have any use for Firefox outside of testing.

OT, but that is the worst "lightbox" image viewer I've seen. You have to actually click the little 'x' to close the dialog (as opposed to most implementations that let you click anywhere-else to close it, or hit escape).

Does this slow down chrome once installed?

I've not noticed any slow down at all.
