We often use OS-level support for Link Conditioner, as explained here: http://nshipster.com/network-link-conditioner/

It would be a nice addition to have this feature implemented in WebKit inspector for a number of reasons:


1. It only affects the current tab in the current instance of Webkit, so it does not affect tasks that the developer might be doing in other applications and tabs
2. It makes clear in the UI what is being debugged at the current time
3. It allows side-by side comparison when using multiple windows for debugging network performance issues (different sites, the same site in different conditions, different AB/testing and all permutations)

Chrome already implements it and this could be considered also for developer relation improvements. I use Safari as my main development browser but many co-workers would choose Chrome for this feature amongst others.
