Web Developer, Firefox Add-on
Really comprehensive extensions for all web developers, who want quick and easy analyze the own site or other sites.
Safari 3.x Web Inspector
The Web Inspector is now implemented since Safari 3.0 beta. This tool offers many interesting features to check how a site is made. You can enable the Web Inspector in the menu "Edit" on entry "Preferences". Switch to "Advanced" and set the checkbox for the extra Developer Menu.
It's a bit difficult to get a web developer toolbar for older Safari versions. I really didn't found something for Safari 1.x or Safari 2.x. Take a look on following links for more information:
