I'm confused, don't the browser dev tools do exactly this? That seems better than sending pretty-printed HTML on the wire, which is a bunch of unnecessary bytes

I'm confused, don't the browser dev tools do exactly this? That seems better than sending pretty-printed HTML on the wire, which is a bunch of unnecessary bytes that users have to pay for.

The browser dev tools display something very different to the source of the page - it's a live view of the document, for a start.

  That's addressed easily enough: disable JavaScript, so that the document can't change.

    Unless I haven't discovered the method, it's also a LOT harder to search the DOM for a given string using the dev tools than it is via source.

      In Chrome, you just Ctrl+F on the Elements tab and then start typing.
