Less than 60 seconds after I posted that initial blog posting about Google Chrome, hoping for a Firebug-like extension, I found the "Inspect Element" action on the right-click menu in Google Chrome. Oops.
The Inspect Element option essentially *is* Firebug, built right into the browser! No need to download an extension, see the screenshot here.

There are several other developer tools all found on the "Page" menu, shown here.

Included are View Source, Debug JavaScript, JavaScript Console, and Task Manager. The Task Manager is nice because it shows how much cpu and memory are consumed by Chrome and by each individual page within the tabs! The Task Manager (shortcut key: Shift-Esc) shown here illustrates that I have three pages open, this blog post for braingia.org, the Google home page, and CNN. Notice that CNN loaded the silly Shockwave Flash plugin which itself consumes 16MB ram and 25% cpu!
