Overall Satisfaction with Chrome DevTools
Chrome Dev Tools help me debug my websites, find css classes to change styles on my development websites, and also use it to test various different view ports , device or what the website looks like on certain mobiles. It also has the Lighthouse functionality which aids in my SEO activities and determining the performance of the website such as how the page assets load and page load speeds
Pros
- inspect elements by right clicking directly on the element on the website
- determine page speeds and optimization advise for SEO using the lighthouse
- great for seeing what websites will look like on mobile
Cons
- I don't really like the UI and visual aspect of the tool, I prefer a dark theme
- Sometimes it glitches after editing a style, and then I can't edit other styles until reload
- Element Inspector
- Mobile views
- Lighthouse
- It helps me every day to get my work done
- My websites can be easily styled as I can check these styles easily in the front end
- I spend less time figuring out what code is needed to get my websites to look right
I find them pretty much the same, they have the same tools except Firefox doesn't provide the lighthouse functionality. I do prefer firefox's dark theme and colour palette. But I use Chrome Dev tools because of the Light house functionality that analyzes the page load and scores the website on desktop and mobile experience.
