Yup, Chrome does that for me, too. But I find firefox's UI just...so fucking awful. And the dev tools are simply inferior. Need chrome, if only Apple would pay

- caconym_ 10y agoI'm not sure exactly what the difference (if any) is between Chrome's dev tools and Chromium's dev tools, but Opera AFAIK uses Chromium's tools and the battery life on my 12" Macbook under normal web browsing in Opera (with adblocker and battery saver turned on) routinely exceeds 10 hours. I do a bit of light web development work every now and then but I'm not really qualified to comment on how good the developer tools in question actually are. To me, they seem to have some nice features and they do what I need.
- isaac_is_goat 10y agoI switched to Opera a long time ago. It has the same backends as Chrome (webkit/v8), and the same developer tools but muuuuuuch better battery life.
- wcarron 10y agoI haven't used Opera. I'll check that out, thanks.
- isaac_is_goat 10y agoThere's also an Opera extension to install Chrome extensions for the Chrome marketplace, it's really awesome so you don't need always need Opera specific extensions...most of the super popular ones like ublock, https everywhere, etc. are already there.
