Chrome dev tools 😎

I'm a fan of Chrome dev.

Chrome FTW!

Chrome. I used to use Firebug a lot back in the day...but man, CDT are so much nicer.

Chrome since a couple years ago

IE dev tools, I think I am the only one but I build apps for our enterprise and they only use IE. Out of the two, Chrome all the way

Chrome dev tools. Firebug used to be the shit, but, thanks Google.

#Chrome

Firebug!

Nah just kidding of course Chrome

Do you mean the devtools in Firefox, or the actual Firebug extension?

I use Firefox devtools. Firebug is way too slow and causes some skyrocketing memory usage.

I have a few issues with Chrome as a browser and stay off of it, sadly. (I've tried to love it, but I just can't ... )

@mhall what issues do you have?

@jkojoa Mostly font rendering issues. Kerning and anti-aliasing in particular. Both are horrible on Chrome, but look great on Firefox.

I've built a design system that allows interactive design for photographic posters and font rendering is crucial. All of the layout information is translated from the DOM values and output to JSON/Javascript and executed by Photoshop to build the poster as seen on the screen.

Because of the rendering issues, the layout is off when using Chrome.

@mhall I agree the rendering engine is a lot "smoother" in Firefox. I still prefer chrome for dev tools, I find it faster and having more useful tools however I do prefer Firefox as a browser.
