Safari 3.1 eliminated Debug Menu. Sort of.

The release of Safari 3.1 has disabled the old Debug Menu mechanisms within the web browser.

Here’s how to get the Debug Menu back…

The Safari Debug menu and those functions were once enabled via:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Have migrated from the (old) Debug menu into the (new) Develop menu and a Internal Debug Menu . The User Agent stuff for instance, are now in the Develop menu. It can be turned on by going to Safari Preferences -> Advanced  and checking the box at the bottom labeled “Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar”. 

However, the more Debug like stuff can also be brought back by enabling the new Internal Debug Menu which contains:

The Render Tree; the View Tree; the World Leaks settings; the Stress Test; etc…

This menu can initiated by by quitting Safari  and launching Terminal.app as usual, and entering:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

Then launch Safari, and you’ll find the (new) Debug menu.
