    I agree with the developer tools take, they are sometimes unresponsive and difficult to read or analyse, especially snapshots.

    Now, I have to disagree about the web standards, all major current browsers are W3C compliant, and developing under those guidelines is an interchangeable operation between browsers.

    But of course, this a market, and browsers will one-up one another for a higher market share. Google for example has been pushing forward almost a new set of guidelines for Chrome, which has a gigantic market share; and those, while widely used, are not the norm, they should be namespaces, we as developers are bound to have to deal with these edge cases unfortunately.

    I understand where the frustration is coming from, Mozilla isn’t a saint, but with the current state of browsers, you can’t possibly say that Firefox is a bad choice, overall It does everything a modern browser is supposed to do.

    I’d even say it’s a better option now than It has ever been.

      But still why would I want to use it? Even if it’s Google’s fault that things don’t work, things still don’t work. I’m not going to use something worse because there might be “spyware” in chrome. Which by the way, is just them collecting data for themselves, not selling data like face book or tiktok does.
