Firebug on other browsers

Firefox has this great tool which allows you to check what's going on inside a page. From css to js, DOM elements and Net traffic, plus a console.
It's easy to read and interact with it on all tabs. My only problem was I didn't had that on my other browsers (IE, Safari, Opera).
Internet Explorer's Dev Tools are really patchy, you cant see an updated version of he DOM on an ajax action or when you load some content. For Opera, it took me around 30 mins to activate it first time, now i don't even remember where I need to go to activate it.
Firebug Lite
I always wanted to use something like Firebug on other browsers. A small link on the Firebug page solved my problems: Firebug Lite. Now you can use the same interface on IE, Safari and Opera with a simple drag and drop on the bookmarks bar.
Keep in mind it's a Lite version
Some of the functionalities you are used to from Firebug might not be available on Firebug Lite version (eg. edit attributes) but it's easier to work on one environment than switching between different ones.
