Hi Jens,

It's built in native to chrome, no app is necessary to install to view the source code.

The instructions taken directly Google are below for your convenience:

View source code

"To view the HTML of your webpage (also known as the "source code"), first open your web browser. Then, visit the page where you'd like to place your ads.

Once you've done that step, please follow the instructions below:

Google Chrome

Click the menu icon Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.

Select Tools, then View Source.

or

Press Ctrl+U (Windows) or ⌘-Option-U (Mac).

Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari

Review and follow the instructions provided by your browser:

After you take the steps above, a new window will open displaying the source code."

Hope you found this helpful.

Also, if you're looking for the little search bar that Danny uses in the video, you can just hit Ctrl + F while viewing in your browser, when you have the source code open, and that search bar will pop up.

It's built into all of the browsers, from what I can tell, and can also be used to find content on a page when viewing webpages in their normal state. :)

wow ok thanks
