Firefox source code length

Jan_de_Jan a répondu

Hi,

just for understanding:

Why can the Firefox source code (view-source) of a website be nearly three times the size compared with Chrome/Opera or when I save the Firefox source code marked and copied and then pasted and saved via an editor?

Example: Firefox 546,6 KiB Chrome/Opera 204,3 KiB via Editor 204,3 KiB (marked and copied Firefox source code)

Best

Peter

Oops, just found the reason after I looked into the source code, which is no source code but the source code to display the source code in the browser. It's filled with endless span tags, and right mouse menu item "display source code" is disabled. Is this source code for displaying the source code in the browser a bug or a feature?
