Chrome DevTools has this. It has also been requested here https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/show-hide-html-comments/23771/2.

The proposed feature is the following:
add a setting in the options panel (defaults to true) that controls whether HTML comment nodes are shown in the inspector.

This bug has not been updated in the last 3 months. Resetting the assignee field.
Please, feel free to pick it up again and add a comment outlining your plans for it if you do still intend to work on it.
This is just trying to clean our backlog of bugs and make bugs available for people.

I just wasted a lot of time trying to find a stray </div> that was screwing up a WordPress page. Without the comments showing in the view-source it meant I just had to trail-and-error it. Please add this functionality as it is a real problem that needs to be fixed. Thank you.
