Is it possible to examine the value of JavaScript variables on a third-party site?

Is it possible to examine the value of JavaScript variables on a third-party site?

For example, if I look at http://www.google.co.uk/ in Firebug or Developer Tools, I can see that the page loads a script called content.js, and within this script there is a variable called link.

Is there any way I can dump the value of that variable to the console, without edit access to the script itself.

I don’t need to see the value at different points in page load – after the page has finished rendering is fine.

    Firebug, Chrome/Safari Web Inspector, IE9’s F12 and Opera Dragonfly allow you to set breakpoints and inspect variables live.
    After that you only need to reload the page.

    With Opera Dragonfly (my main debugger) you can also simply set up “Break at the beginning of new scripts”.
