    Very impressive, but can’t Firebug do exactly the same thing, with much the same workflow?

      Yep, exactly! Main difference being: Hackasaurus is designed for novice webmakers, especially youth aged 12 – 17. Firebug is intended primarily for much more advanced developers.

      In a sense, Hackasaurus is “Firebug for kids.” Making it easy for people who have never “viewed source” before to get their feet wet.

      THANK YOU for making this! :) Hackasaurus has really been needing a clear explanation like this. Super helpful.

    It was fun! I would be happy to put together a more polished version if Mozilla would find it helpful.
