With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

You talking about the dev tools or it’s support for new web technologies? Dev tools seem to have improved by a lot since the last time I used it, but I do wish they were quicker with support for other things, like can we get working Web Speech API support?

The dev tools specifically. They’re also pretty behind on web tech, but that’s another topic. For example, they still don’t have WebGPU support.

Ah I see, I haven’t run into any issues with it in development, but I am curious what specific issues you see with the Firefox dev tools?

It’s not really issues, it’s just the overall usability. For example, you can’t press F8 to continue while the focus is in the console, you have to grab the mouse and click into the debugger view (also, debugger is a weird name for the source view).
