I use Firefox but agree with you there are some features it really bothers me that it doesn't have. For example, Chrome is actually easier to develop with because you can Shift+Right-click the refresh button to bring up a context menu for "Clear Cache + Hard Reload." In Firefox if you want to clear the cache to a certain page, you have to navigate through several windows and make like 10+ clicks. It's little things like this that put me off of Firefox, but times like that I just grit my teeth and still use it anyway just because at least I'm not selling my web browsing to a big business.

- Waterluvian 8y agoSo the deal is that you're not wrong. It's only sliiightly less convenient. But I think there's real, meaningful cost in things just being different. Shamelessly clone everything about the chrome UI and I'd gladly switch. I should still try to switch again... But why does it have to be so uncomfortable? Every modern car has all the same controls in the same places. Why not browsers?
- detaro 8y agoAnd I always find Chrome dev tools annoying because they don't have that easy-to-reach cache checkbox... It's difficult if there's no clear "right answer".
- warent 8y agoThank you for that!

Both of which make clearing the cache very annoying.
