3 useful features from Opera Dev tools that Chrome is missing
- sthulbourn 14y agoThe first two points seem more inline with Chrome for Android... but afiak, Chrome does have remote debugging built-in, you just have to enable it via command line. It's build into WebKit and then up to the vendor to enable it... (I wish Safari on iOS had it...) I agree with #3... a way to create requests with custom headers would be fantastic.. for example when you're trying to connect to an API via JS...
- fpp 14y agoyou can create / customize headers with extensions in chrome - there is an example extension provided with the Chrome extension development documentation.
- sthulbourn 14y agoI guess now Chrome has extension bindings to the webkit inspector, it would be possible to create this then.
- wyck 14y agoThis first point is wrong, it is easy to enable remote debugging, https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging#remote https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/re... Point 3# is spot on though. ps. Do sites realize that their slide out social buttons things actually cover the scrollbar making it impossible to scroll using a mouse click.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoBlogger doesn't even seem to realize that if you don't have Javascript enabled, you can't access their content. (This includes fetching things with instapaper.)
- Juha 14y agoThis is sadly true. They don't work on Pocket either. I really like the clean style of their dynamic views, but apparently they should not be used yet. Some of the dynamic views also have problems displaying on mobile browsers. I should change back to a normal template as soon as I find a good one.
- dguaraglia 14y agoFor those looking for something similar to the tool described in point #3, I've been using a very helpful chrome extension called 'REST Console' for that exact purpose: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cokgbflfommojglbmbpenpphppikmonn https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cokgbflfommojglbmb...
- rch 14y agoI only problem with Opera's Dragonfly - and I mean only - is that I (seem to) need an active internet connection to use it. Twice in the last year I have started working on experimental UI stuff on a plane, run into a quirk, and tried to start debugging... the futility only hits me once it fails to come right up. I have all the usual http servers installed on my laptop, so it would be alright if I just needed to deploy something locally. But Opera has that capability baked into the browser already, so I'd appreciate it if they could just toss in Dragonfly as well.
