What happened to "View Source" (of web page code) in Safari 14.1.1 in Big Sur 11.4? In older versions of Safari, under the "View" menu, there was a command called "View Source" (option-command-U keyboard shortcut) that revealed the underlying html/css/etc. code of whatever web page that was on the screen. However, after I upgraded to Big Sur 11.4, the 'View Source" menu option is gone in the recent versions of Safari, and the keyboard command no longer works. Why was View Source removed, and how can I create a workaround to quickly view the source code of any web page being displayed in Safari, as formerly was possible? (I realize that I can in theory "Save As" a Safari page as a "Web Archive' and then later open that file in a web page editing program, and see the code that way, but that's too time-consuming and complicated. I just want to be able to hit a keyboard shortcut or choose a menu option within Safari itself for a quick instant view of the page's underlying code. Perhaps there is some kind of add-on or widget that restores this functionality?)

Right-click anywhere in the page and select "Inspect Element" from the resulting contextual menu. A new pane will appear at the bottom of the page:
