Viewing Source still sucks
by Acidus at 12:39 pm EDT, Jul 20, 2009

Firefox: I like that you made hyperlink in "View source" clickable links in 3.5. But you stopped short! Now why can't I have the standard hyperlink context menu?

Where's my copy location, open in new window, etc? That would rock.

Also:

-Show me a copyable representation of the URL of the source code I'm currently looking at.

-Have a new "Close all open view source windows" feature. I commonly have a dozen or more "View Source" windows open and its a pain managing them.

-For that matter, show me "when" the source snap shot that the view source window shows was taken. When I'm doing a manual XSS demo Its annoying trying to find the most recent view source window for the audience.

Admittedly, IE8 still has Note-fucking-Pad for view source, so you are way ahead of the game. I have pretty much stopped trying to use IE8 to view source.

Is there a reason you are not just using FireBug or am I missing something? I can't remember the last time I clicked on view source to do anything remotely serious.

However, while we are talking about view source, Chromes view source has everything you are looking for and a bit more I think...now if I could just get FireBug for Chrome...
