This article aims to demonstrate 3 steps to enable the Inspect Element feature on Mac for Safari.
For Chrome and Firefox, the Inspect Element feature is pre-enabled and can be viewed with a right-click. However, the same feature needs to be enabled first for Safari users operating on a Mac before they can start inspecting web elements.

  1. The primary step to Inspect element on a mac is to enable the Developer menu. To do so, open the Safari browser, click on Safari -> Preferences.
