If you are developing mobile web applications, you already experienced the difficulty of debugging them.
iWebInspector is a free tool for debugging, profiling and inspecting web applications that run on iOS Simulator (iPhone or iPad).

The tool simply attaches the Web Inspector to any tab opened in Safari for iOS, to a chrome-less web app (full screen) or to a PhoneGap application.
It enables us to:
- see and browse every element on your HTML element. You can change attributes, content and styles and see how they apply on Safari
- see all the resources involved in this page, including Databases, Local Storage, Cookies and ApplicationCache
- check all the network traffic on your website
- see all your scripts, create breakpoints, watches and debug your JavaScript code.
- record a timeline showing you rendering, scripting and loading times while you browse on Safari
- profile your JavaScript code
- audit your code, showing you a report on performance and other stuff
- see and use the JavaScript console
Simply, a great addition for mobile developers.
Requirements: Mac OS 10.6+, Xcode 4.2 with iOS 5 SDK

BrowserLab, a web-based service by Adobe, enables you to test websites on multiple browsers and OSs.
It is possible to create a custom browser set where the screenshots will be created only for those browsers (also helps speeding up the results).

Screenshots can be previewed in 2-up or onion-skin views which makes comparing multiple versions easier and x/y rulers can be used for sensitive measurements..
The service currently supports different Firefox, Safari and IE versions for Windows and Mac OS X. However, it is still in beta and new browsers are added within time.
BrowserLab is part of the Adobe CS Live and free for 1 year if you sign-up before April 30, 2011.

Although everyone tries hard to make websites work with every browser, they are generally not 100% compatible.
And, with the increasing usage of HTML5+CSS3, they are becoming incompatible with more and more browsers everyday.

Free The Foxes is a free JavaScript+HTML+CSS-based solution for displaying good-looking notifications to visitors with a incompatible browser.
With the help of a simple configuration file, it is possible to rate browsers and their versions where the notification window displays result according to these ratings.
The window also guides users to download a better browser with the options and their download links.
