Chrome's dev tools are so far beyond the competitions that this joke is a non-starter.

When Chrome does add this capability(strange they haven't added it to date given the prior art from years ago), I can see it being used by actual devs inside Google and thus being actually useful.

Contrast that with Firefox dev tools which seem to fall behind the priority list compared to new shiny flashy tech projects they concoct.



It's against the site guidelines to be snarky and to dismiss other people's work like this, so please don't. I'm sure you can make your substantive points thoughtfully, so please do.

Don't know why you're downvoted but you're totally right. FF's dev tool is still very far behind Chrome's. IIRC things like websocket inspection aren't even in mainline FF yet.

If people want to see many examples of what Chrome's webtool can do and FF can't, just take a look at this page "What's New In DevTools" for each Chrome release.

Releasing with Firefox 71. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/10/firefoxs-new-websocket-ins...


People have been asking for it for years though. IIRC Chrome has had it since at least 2012.
