I'm using Chrome-compatible SRWare Iron 5.0.381 on XP, and was checking out what Chrome has to offer to developers, eg. inspecting the contents of the DOM of a currently-loaded web page. But when I hit CTRL-SHIFT-I, the bar is totally empty:

Does someone why this is? Do I need an add-on? Are there other Chrome-compatible tools I should know about?

Thank you.

A: 

It appears you’ve found a bug in that fork of Chromium. The inspector works just fine with Google.fr in the latest Google Chrome and Chromium builds. Why don’t you use one of these browsers.

I prefer not to use Chrome because of the privacy issues. I'll try Chromium. Thanks.
A: 

Usually the reason of that is some problem in DevTools JS code.

It is a chance that problem will be solved by chrome restart. Such kind of problems can happen when chrome is upgrading at background.

The other reason of that can be some changes which you made in DevTools.js. Of cause if you have done some changes :)

You can troubleshoot such problem by another instance of DevTools. As example you can try to load DevTools.html page into Safari, open WebInspector for it and check console messages.

I've misread that you use Chrome.In case of Iron it is a chance that Iron was compiled without DevTools support in native code.
