Chrome Dev Tools for Frontend developers !
Chrome Developer Tools is a comprehensive toolkit for developers which helps them in developing web apps. Dev tool is built directly into the Chrome browser and lets the developer edit web pages in real-time, debug problems quickly, and build better, faster, and more responsive websites. Our websites are a mix of older and newer frontend technology stacks. Chrome dev tools are used by the developers for testing the websites for backward compatibility. For mobile app development also the emulators are handy. Developers use it to identify where resources are loading from, performance, and configuration issues. We also use it to interact directly with the JavaScript console.
Overall it is an excellent tool for frontend web developers.
Overall it is an excellent tool for frontend web developers.
- Provides tools for observing network and application performance, and way to simulate varying network speeds.
- The console can be used for ad-hoc JavaScript running.
- Performance analysis tool for finding network bottlenecks.
- Inspect tool to view the DOM structure of the webpage.
- Emulator for different screens (mobile , iPad, etc).
- High memory and CPU usage at times
- Learning curve is a bit steep
- Apart from the console, the Chrome dev tool should provide a panel with the editor. It would be useful to write multi-line functions.
- No other complaints. Pretty much comprehensive set of tools
- Ability to do inplace editing and debugging
- Inspect tool to View the DOM structure
- Network Performance management and debug
- Emulator for different devices
- Positive ROI as it is handy tool for front end developers
- Increased performance for website load
- Free tooling and comes embedded with chrome
- Easy to collaborate in the team
Safari and Firefox have similar capabilities but since the Chrome browser is more popular, it is used by the development team.

Used to detect and find root cause of html/css issues as well as javascript debugging when there are unexpected results in a specific scenario. Chrome DevTools helps to see the stack trace at any execution point in scripting language.
- Show current html DOM objects
- Display CSS properties in an accurate way
- Emulate mobile devices
- Limited customasation
- Google tracking
- High memory and CPU usage
- Device emulation
- CSS validation
- Javascript debugging
- Positive impact as there is faster troubleshooting
- Another advance is having less CSS issues
- Having a limited customisation and options could impact the productivity using the tool
- It takes time and resources in large corporations to change the default browser which in MAC is Safari and in Windows is IE/Edge
We selected DevTools against Firebug as there is no need to install any additional plugin because DevTools is part of the browser and the performance is incredible in spite of the amount of RAM it consumes.
Chrome DevTools outperforms similar tools in other browsers such as Safari as it is a piece of cake of manipulate the DOM and pseudo classes even using the console which is also easy to use.

Powerful development tools are built into the browser
We use Chrome DevTools for front-end development and debugging. Everyone on my team uses it, and I would suspect others in my department use it as well, probably anyone using Chrome as their main browser. The DevTools allow us to inspect our sites and find problems with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Inspect front-end code.
- Find and debug issues.
- Apply changes in the browser for testing.
- Test responsive designs at various device resolutions.
- Test page speed and performance.
- Test various network situations (e.g. low/no internet connection).
- Improved screenshot support.
- Quicker access to common testing settings (e.g. disabling JavaScript).
- Improved CSS tools.
- It's free and powerful.
- It allows for faster development.
- It helps catch problems right away.
The main tool I've used that compares to Chrome DevTools is the Firefox built-in development tools. The one thing that I know I like better about Firefox is the screenshot support, which has many great features. Firefox even has a special developer edition of their browser specifically made for web developers. I've used several other browsers built off Chrome that also include the Chrome DevTools. I've used the Safari dev tools a bit, but they don't seem to be quite as intuitive and powerful as the ones in Chrome. There is also a Chrome-based browser called Blisk that I have yet to try.
