I actually have the exact opposite experience when I try out Chromium based browsers. I end up missing FF dev tools. I love the ability to edit and resend network requests. I'm sure I could figure out how do to so in Chrome devtools, but just not as intuitive (at least to me!)


For me it depends on what I'm doing. I too like the edit and resend ability in firefox dev tools but what I've found it lacking is the option to automatically open dev tools for pop ups, which is possible in chrome.


There is a beginning of solution for popups in Firefox DevTools.

You can toggle `devtools.popups.debug` preference [1] to true in about:config and DevTools should open on popups.

Unfortunately, there is some limitations, highlighted at the end of that bugzilla entry. It won't work for <a target="_blank">, while it should work for window.open usages.

I'm the same. I can't stand Chrome's dev tools.
