Description

This updates the "What are browser developer tools?" guide as several aspects are inconsistent and out of date.

Motivation

The current guide is out of date in several ways:

  • The Safari documentation that was previously linked is deprecated
  • Firefox no longer provides a way to access each devtool tab individually from the menu bar
  • The guide still references pre-Chromium Edge in one instance
  • Several panes mentioned as Firefox-only now aren't

Additionally:

  • Consistently format of each devtool tab name, and per-browser differences
  • Consistently mention other Chromium browsers
  • Make clearer for Safari users that they have to enable from settings, and update for v17+
  • Mention JS features in inspector pane

THanks very much @mirnovov . FYI only I moved the note and fixed up some rendering for the Firefox menu option.
