    Better developper tools.

    So at work, I am a web developer and a rare Firefox user. Team mates often come to me and say: “Hey Dragnucs, I’ve got this problem/bug/issue/whatever, can you help?” I often reply in lines of: “Show me X in your debugger tool”. Most often, they can’t do it in Chrome, so we just open Firefox, see X and find the issue.

    The most common debug tools Firefox has that Chrome lacks are:

    Styling:

    • Simpler style editor
    • Style inspector help (Show which and why rules are overridden)
    • Computed rules, flexbox and grid debugger, animation GUI editor, etc.

    DOM:

    • Shows which elements are hidden
    • Shows attached events to nodes
    • Breakpoints on DOM changes, attributes changes, or node tree change

    General:

    • Simpler global search in CSS and JS code.

    I just needed one reason: Chrome is owned by Google, Firefox isn’t.
