Points to Remember

  • To access “Browser Tools”, go to the top right and click on the three dots icon, then go to more tools, then select “Developer Tools”.
  • The shortcut to open “Developer Tools” is “Ctrl + Shift + i” in Windows/Linux and “Cmd + Shift + i” in macOS.

  • Under the “Elements” tab in “Developer Tools”, we can see the HTML code of the Web page.

  • Any changes we make in the “Developer Tools” are reflected immediately on the Web page but that change is temporary.

  • “User Agent Stylesheet” is the CSS that is added by the Browser.
