  • Positive: it is very useful for front-end developers to check the performance of the application
  • Positive: We can troubleshoot issue very quickly for production without code change.
  • Positive: We can test our own website while developing
  • Negative: For every project, my organization will give a new system. Every time I need to change the default browser to chrome as by default system will tab Microsoft edge browser.
  • Negative: Another developer will see our code and they will hack the website if it is buggy code.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • DevTools has streamlined our debugging process when "weird" things happen on our site. We have encountered at least one instance where a third party module caused our main CRM page to fail to load. We were able to quickly identify the problem request using DevTools and mask the offending site with a firewall rule that got our site back in operation for our internal customers quickly (albeit without the third party functionality) until the third party was able to correct the issue with their integration. This allowed us to get our sales organization back in operation quickly, which had a definite impact on our bottom line.

  • Since DevTools is baked into Chrome, it's free--which means the ROI is off the charts.
  • Further, because it is baked in, you don't have to spend forever looking around for another extension
  • And unlike Firebug, your webpages aren't going to render REALLY slowly if you have it open.

  • It has saved us vast amounts of time in debugging by offering a quick and easy way to peer under the hood of our applications in browser.
  • The ability to immediately apply styling changes to your front-end view in-browser and see what changes and how it a massive help and easily reverted by a simple page refresh.
  • It may be relied on exclusively a bit too much by some developers and it is important not to let your engineers get into the mindset that they should only test your front-end in Chrome.

  • It is a free tool so it is hard to give a negative impact. The positive is that it saves a lot of time, the changes you make are visible in your browser immediately. There is no need to upload your changes to your local or remote server and then refresh your browser.
  • Chrome DevTools is a very good free solution for multiple different use cases.
