I use FF and prefer the devtools.

Chrome's ability to temporarily edit and save changes to JS sources through the debugger editor is fantastic though.

Other than that it's mostly just improvements to what FF already has.

Search could be made much more useful, especially network requests. Searching all request bodies/responses for a particular string/json/regex would be a huge step up.

You can search the response of individual requests but there's a UI bug that makes it look like your filter is no longer applied when you select the next one in the list.

Does this affect the live code so the change is available immediately? I once had a thought about wondering if this was possible to have the change available without refreshing


As far as I know, you have to reload the page sadly.


It made no sense for how that could work that I could imagine, but it would be holycrapthatscool if it could. some sort of second JIT or something, but i can only imagine the security nightmare that'd open up
