I've been a big fan of firebug, even though I switched to Chrome I come back to firefox just for debugging.
No, web inspector is no match for on the fly css modification to tweak a color here and there, even editing html right there if you need it.
- pavs 17y agoYes! People always point out to me that Chrome has built-in powerful Web Inspector and I don't have to go back to Firefox to keep using firebug. Web Inspector _might_ be a powerful dev tool but firebug is very intuitive to me for quick look-ups on the source. I really hope they can do a full firebug port on chrome, this is the only thing that's stopping me from using Chrome exclusively. But I doubt this will happen, because Chrome extension frame work in its current form has limited functionality, unlike Firefox.
- Zev 17y agoHave you (or the OP) tried Safari's (or better yet, a WebKit nightlies) Web Inspector? Its more powerful than the one in Chrome.
- mmastrac 17y agoFWIW, Chrome dev channel's inspector is approximately equivalent to the one in webkit nightlies.
- Pistos2 17y agoI haven't found Chrome's debugging tools inferior to Firebug. I therefore use Chrome for increased browser startup time and reduced memory usage. What feature of Firebug do you use that Chrome doesn't have?
