"Unless we support alternatives we really shouldn't complain when they gradually die off in a space that is increasingly coming under the control of giant corporations with bottomless pockets."
Exactly this. Sure Firefox sometimes isn't the absolute best in a given characteristic, but it's still a damn good browser overall, and the concern over the encroaching Chromium monoculture is more than enough to keep me using it.
- weaksauce 6y agoI haven't found firefoxe's dev tools to be much different than chrome's... and you can use chrome for a particular debugging issue or development. I think firefox is a great daily driver.
- LocalPCGuy 6y agoBeen using Firefox daily as my development browser for the last 6 months. Started as an experiment, but stayed because I liked it. The only thing I noticed is that sometimes Chrome's errors in the console are slightly better. I prefer Firefox's HTML/CSS panels, and the CSS Grid/Flex support is generally better. As anything, this comment is a point-of-time comment, they are both iterating rapidly, and when one adds something people like, the other usually pushes it in also.
- weaksauce 6y agoif you use nightly too you get some extra features that might even be better than chrome's.
- LocalPCGuy 6y agoI use the Developer Edition - it is ahead of beta but more stable than Nightly.
