I've used Firefox as my daily driver for years on a high end gaming laptop and have the same gripe. The dev tools are truly bad. Even outside of dev work, there's sites where I want to hide paywall or login banners by simply setting a container to "display: none;", but opening up the inspector (slow) and doing so causes the browser to freeze.
- easygenes 11mo agoI think Lizard is the best UI for elements hiding in FF: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lizardextension/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lizardextensi... The name is in keeping with a lineage of animal tools for ad hoc page manipulation in Firefox. First was Aardvark, then Platypus. https://github.com/dvogel/AardvarkDuex https://github.com/dvogel/AardvarkDuex More background: https://chatgpt.com/share/69177dc6-6378-8011-bdae-c8dcbb124fb1 https://chatgpt.com/share/69177dc6-6378-8011-bdae-c8dcbb124f... I was an original early user of Aardvark. These tools have remained obscure, but with a cult following because they’re such a quick and easy way to rip up a page to your liking. They were the direct inspiration for modern browser dom selector tools. For hairy edge cases, uBlock Origin’s element picker is the gold standard for manipulating pages.
