Is there a development tool plugin for Safari much like how there exists the Firebug plugin for Firefox?

The Firebug web development tool, an open source add-on to the Firefox browser, is being discontinued after 12 years, replaced by Firefox Developer Tools.
If you haven't already tried Safari's development kit, go to Safari-->Preferences-->Advanced, and check the box next to "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Once you have the Develop menu enabled, you can use the Web Inspector to get a lot of the same functionality that Firebug provides. Note this is Mac-only.
There is a Firebug-like tool already built into Chrome. Just right click anywhere on a page and choose "Inspect element" from the menu. Chrome has a graphical tool for debugging (like in Firebug), so you can debug JavaScript.
Firebug Lite is a JavaScript Library that you can activate in any browser using a simple bookmarklet. The Firebug Lite JavaScript suite replicates the most useful tools you'll find in the venerable Firebug add-on, including the console, command line interface and XmlHttpRequest inspector.
Firebug is great, but Safari provides its own built-in development tools.
