Here’s one I just discovered by accident (wayward click). Control-click on an element and choose Inspect Element to get the inspector open. If that item has a color (background or text), click on the little square swatch left of the color definition (rgb or rgba by default). See how it changes to the different color models each time you click? This is incredibly handy if you are trying to match a color from an existing site exactly in your layout. You don’t have to do any translation from one color model to another if your styles are defined in something other than the default.
Cool! The Inspect Element feature is one of my favorite tools - that it is
more or less free is the best!

I use Safari as a quick way to look at pictures on my hard drive. Just drag a picture into Safari for an instant preview without having to open any other programme

One of my favorite tricks is to select a style value in the definition pane
at right and use the up or down arrow key to increase or decrease that
value. Dynamic!

I know it’s not really a trick - it’s just the simple functionality of
it. Apart from people sharing these, how would we ever know?
