I am using Firefox on principle - I don’t care about some benchmarks or that Firefox is only browser that still has connecting to local host so owning developers somewhere on backlog.

But at work there is no real way I could use Firefox and I am web dev. Dev tools in Firefox are nowadays also behind what Chrome has. Biggest upside for Firefox was Firebug but now it is only history. Let alone mentioned security issue….

I think here it is easy to understand that if all web devs work in chrome we have IE situation back again.

Depends on what you need from dev tools. Firefox's built in dev tools keeps some response bodies that Chrome's tools don't.

Google owns internet advertising so I'm not surprised that they also own web devs.
