Chrome DevTools helps us identify areas to address such as optimising website performance, cross-browser compatibility, and responsive design. We use the Coverage and panel to identify any unused code, which can cause slow loading times, together with the Network panel which is crucial for analysing page load performance and optimising resources.
This tool's simplicity and cleanliness will be very beneficial to our development team. Thanks to this application, we are able to test the websites of our clients at higher resolutions and with specific device settings. Utilizing scroll sync, it is easy to test responsiveness on the newest devices with LT Browser.
Provides clear, easy to understand, and actionable intelligence on how the browser is retrieving, parsing and rendering the page.
Covers a wide gamut of front-end development tasks, from manipulating CSS rules to line-by-line debugging of JavaScript to helpful page and server insights.
Continuously incorporates new tools and helpful features. With nearly every major Chrome release there is a "What's new" update with at least one or two useful items.
It would be nice in the elements panel, if clicking on a node scrolled the screen to that node. On some large pages its easy to get lost in the code and not know where the element you're inspecting resides on the screen.
It would be nice if, in addition to the console, there was a panel that behaved more like an editor instead of a command prompt. It may seem trivial but it would be very helpful when writing multi-line functions.
While Chrome DevTools are very powerful, it's not the easiest thing to use, as there are so many different tools built in. It takes some exploring to discover all the options possible within DevTools, but with a little exploring, the DevTools become a very powerful asset. Accessing the basic HTML and CSS inspection is very easy though, and that's the most common usage for the DevTools.
I'm not entirely sure what to rate the support for DevTools, because I don't have any experience dealing with official customer support for DevTools. I would guess the primary support for DevTools would be in a Chrome forum. Typically if I have a question or issue, I am able to find an answer from doing a quick Google search. It's pretty widely used, so it's not difficult to find answers.
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.
Tools of this type that I have tried, I think LT Browser is the most complete of them and the most affordable on top of everything else, considering that it also offers a plan for students; in addition, I believe that it is backed by Lamdatest and all the possibilities that can be accessed thanks to the prestige of the company and its developments, make it an incomparable tool.
With the help of LT Browser, we can perform mobile testing of our web sites and applications comfortably. It's easy to set up, it's customizable and it allows us to throttle the network to monitor the performance of our website under different network conditions.
