  1. Ensure that “Show Develop menu in menu bar” is enabled under “Safari” > “Preferences” > “Advanced“.
    Safari develop menu
  2. Now visit any web page and select “Develop” > “Show Web Inspector“.
    Show Web Inspector option
  3. The web inspector window will appear.

Older versions

  1. Open “Applications” > “Utilities“.
  2. Launch “Terminal“.
  3. Type “defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true” and press “Enter“.
  4. Now you can open a web page in Safari and right-click or hold down your mouse button anywhere on the page until the menu appears.
  5. Select “Inspect Element“.
