Ctrl-Shift-J will display the built in JavaScript console.

Plugins are coming soon

You can embed Firebug Lite into your web pages to get Firebug features in non-FF browsers.

Chrome has it's own DOM-explorer built in I believe.

If don't like the Chrome's console you may use Firebug Lite bookmarklet :

Firebug Lite now exists as a native Chrome extension.

It has some limitations, but I much prefer it to the bookmarklet and hopefully the missing functionality will come in time.

Now we just need the plugins as well :D

There is an inspector built into WebKit (and thus Chrome) already, which does many of the same things as Firebug on Firefox. Find it under the Page menu, Developer, "JavaScript Console", or right-click anything on a page and select "Inspect element" to get to that element in the inspector.

The "Resources" tab can show you a view similar to the "Network" view in Firebug.
