Is there any way to get the old web inspector back for the newest version of safari?
Also, I can't seem to refresh the page when web inspector is open, what the heck?
Mac OS X (10.7)
So do you download this once a day (night)? If they update the inspector away again I guess you'd still have all the .dmg's... http://builds.nightly.webkit.org/files/trunk/mac/
Don't be afraid...
how to you switch back to stable if you switched to nightly? or is this a completely seperate app?
It's a seperate app called Webkit
wow, seems alot faster, not sure if its just percieved speed, guys checkout the nightly version, Webkit Web Inspector rocks!
Is there any way to use the webkit inspector without messing about with webkit nightly builds?
This option should really be in safari.
Anyone..Apple?
I've now switched to Chrome....got fed up of waiting for Apple.
To be honest I don't know what took me so long to switch. Chrome is faster, more stable and has the old, vastly superior web inspector!

downgrade to lion, then you'll get your web inspector 😀, if you're on Mountain Lion, either you use nightly or use chrome. like JoeAD did 🙂
Honestly if you're using web inspector --> you are probably a web developer or in similar occupation --> and you are probably used to testing your work across all major browsers, chrome, firefox, opera etc. So just inspect using chrome, safari and chrome have the same web rendering engine anyway, just my 2 cents
To be honest, I want to support Safari because Chrome is hijacking user in many ways (e.g. ugly printing dialogue, which hijacks system dialogue cmd+P; it also asks you to log in to their cloud from time to time and so they can monitor your activities for PageRanking, etc.) For privacy reason, I stopped using Chrome now. However, to be honest, Chrome has better webkit inspector than Safari's Web inspector and it is lean. So Apple engineers, if you are reading this and want to raise Safari market share, here is the way to do it: design a super nice, practical (not fancy) and lean GUI for developers and users. How to let WebApp developers stick to Safari environemnt is your homework now. Simplicity is not easy.
As far as Firefox goes, its webkit inspector looks ugly (just my personal opinion; ugly, thick fonts, etc) but it is powerful in other ways.
I do see improvement of the webkit inspector from Safari 5.x.x to 6.x.x. Keep going. I want to support Safari but the Safari team has to give good reasons for users to do that and to continue to use it.
Peace. V.
Quit Webkit, launch Safari - they are two separate apps.
Latest Nightly Build has the new, horrible, web inspector!
Edit: My bad - you have to select it in the Develop menu.
You don't need to update every day - each version is still newer than the current Safari - you might as well stick with one version.
has the option to use the old inspector been removed?
No, the option to use the old webkit inspector is still there.
