There are still a lot of QoL features that Firefox DevTools misses. For example autocomplete for CSS classes, a tab for handling Service Workers, commands to perform actions (like disabling JavaScript), etc.

I find myself switching between browsers just to take advantage of the different features each one provides which is slighly annoying. I would sincerely love some kind of unified DevTools.



Yeah, and vice versa as well, of course - for example, I don't think the Chrome DevTools tell you why certain CSS declarations do not apply.

That said, the Firefox DevTools have been progressing really fast since the rewrite to React was completed, so I'm hopeful that it'll practically be the unified DevTools soon.


One reason that I use Firefox DevTools mostly is because in the inspector it shows you what events are attached to a DOM element. It's really helpful for debugging legacy applications. Sure, Chrome has something similar but it's a bit more hidden.


Firefox sure has CSS auto-complete (at least in the inspector).
