A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

    Firefox dev tools are much better for typical web development.

    Not true, not even close. That was true like 15-20 years ago, but nowadays, especially when I’m debugging Angular (yes the extension for chrome is better) and developing stuff that will be used by people who go for Chrome.

      You say Angular. But what else can we expect for a framework for making WebKit/Chromium apps. Angular working in Firefox is an afterthought because it has very much similar featureset.

        I’ve to work with what I got :P Either way even if I was doing jQuery or Vue (like I did in the past) I wouldn’t ever use Firefox because even without the Angular extension, just plain JS/CSS debugging I like Chromium dev tools more.

        Besides the fact that my target users are always Chrome users and by using Firefox for development in the past I run into issues because specific features would work in Firefox but not on Chrome and vice-versa… or some piece of CSS rendered differently Chromium offers a level of polishness on small details that Firefox wasn’t ever close to. Firefox’s dev tools are always playing catch-up time to Chromium’s, that’s what I see.

        Maybe I’m biased like you seem to be, but in the opposite way :P
