Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but that doesn't mean it works only on Firefox. What happens when we want to test our pages against Internet Explorer, Opera, or Safari? Firebug Lite is the solution for this. It's a product that can be easily included in our file via a JavaScript call, just like any other JavaScript, to support all non-Firefox browsers. It will simulate some of the features of Firebug in our non-Firefox browsers. Chrome already has firebug Lite as a extension.
