How to activate the Development menu in Safari

development-menu-safari

One of the functions we have hidden in the Safari browser that comes by default on all OS X devices and also iOS, is the Development menu. I have always been a Safari user and the truth is that I am very happy with this browser and the improvements that are being implemented in the new versions. But today I want to talk about one of those functions that are not activated by default in Safari and that can be of help in some cases, it's about the Development menu that will allow us a multitude of new options to test web pages. This is a very useful menu for developers and for those who like me, like to mess around.

It is about having access to multiple menus that allow us to deactivate images, deactivate or clear caches, activate WebGL, JavaScript, show the error console at the bottom of the browser or one that we find quite useful which is none other than User Agent, that we facilitates functional tests of a web page in other browsers other than Safari.

To activate this menu we only have to access the Preferences Safari and click on the menu Advanced, once in this menu we have to mark the option Show the Development menu in the menu bar:

development-menu

Now we will see the new menu at the top of the upper menu bar and we will have this 'hidden option' of Safari activated. If we want to deactivate it, we only have to uncheck the option in the Advanced preferences menu.
