Chrome DevTools vs. UserWay Accessibility Widget

Chrome DevTools is best for web developers, front end designers and anyone who is developing a website. It's great for SEO optimization to get advice and info on the assets and resources the website uses and how it performs. Also great for checking if your website is mobile friendly. Great for debugging

Accessibility on websites today is usually a convoluted process of testing and re-designing, but with Userway, the process is smooth. So for someone making their own simple marketing website for their small business, Userway could potentially save their company thousands of dollars and countless hours of development time and stress.

While Chrome DevTools are very powerful, it's not the easiest thing to use, as there are so many different tools built in. It takes some exploring to discover all the options possible within DevTools, but with a little exploring, the DevTools become a very powerful asset. Accessing the basic HTML and CSS inspection is very easy though, and that's the most common usage for the DevTools.

I'm not entirely sure what to rate the support for DevTools, because I don't have any experience dealing with official customer support for DevTools. I would guess the primary support for DevTools would be in a Chrome forum. Typically if I have a question or issue, I am able to find an answer from doing a quick Google search. It's pretty widely used, so it's not difficult to find answers.

Chrome DevTools stacks up well against similar browser tools like those offered by Microsoft Edge and Firefox. It has plenty of strengths and while it may not stand out strongly from the crowd amongst its peers it has built a strong user base around it due to its constant improvement and the popularity of the Chrome browser. It is an easy pick for us to lean on for the majority of our front-end development needs.

• One major positive impact that using Chrome DevTools has on business is the ability to test your page on multiple devices, screen sizes, and user agents. You can do a lot of QA testing from chrome and that saves time.
• Since DevTools is a free product that comes bundled within another free product I don't see any negative impact that derives from its use.
