Although I still think Firebug is better, watch this space….Google Chrome is starting to include the use of extensions (in the Dev version) and the progress on the Developer Tools is impressive. Firebug is also a lot easier to understand and use. Although Chrome DevTools has been on the web since 2009, it serves its purpose well. The best thing to do is check them out and play with the new features.Ĭhrome’s Developer Tools IS getting better, but it’s just not as mature as Firebug. Now that Mozilla has released a web developer dedicated browser, there will be some argument on which is the best developer tool to use. Scripts allows you to set breakpoints on your JavaScript code and inspect the objects that fly around in JavaScript. There are now two new icons at the top left of the toolbar: “Scripts” and “Profiles”.ĭeveloper Tools in Google Chrome (3.0.190.4) Well, Google have been working on improving the Developer Tools. Since the launch of Google Chrome, Google has added in their own version of Firebug named “Developer Tools”, however it has never quite met the mark, and I still return to using Firefox (now and again) purely to use Firebug. The Chrome DevTools get a lot more love on the internet, but Firefox DevTools have an amazing engineering team behind them with a lot of useful features. If you are a Web Developer and have never heard of Firebug (shame on you!) check what it’s all about here. The developer edition adds to this with a suite of tools aimed at developers. The standard edition of Firefox is an excellent browser, packed with features, and privacy-focused. Every web developer out there must know how invaluable Firebug for Firefox is: The best conventional browser for web development in 2021 is the developer edition of Mozilla’s Firefox. One of the weaker sides of using Chrome as a web developer is the “Developer Tools”. Havent tried it on Mac, but on Windows Chrome seemed snappier than Firefox / Firefox Dev Edition. Firefox Developer Edition is a specially themed version of Firefox Beta, meaning both are future Firefox 89, currently on beta release 13 about 2/3 of the way through the beta cycle. I love it! I love the clean design, the ease of use, the “Omnibox” for search and website address etc etc. FDE if I want to do some front-end work thats effective on most browsers (usually Chromes tools can render radically. -) Firefox, regular release, is version 88.0.1. I use Google Chrome as my default browser.
