Overall Satisfaction with Chrome DevTools

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.

Pretty printing is another feature than Chrome Dev Tools does incredibly well.
Chrome Dev tools could improve the console interface to allow multi-line scripts as smoothly as Firebug.
