    I use Firefox for both, personal and work. I love FF devtool and prefer it over Chrome for some reason.

      Do you happen to have a carbon monoxide leak somewhere in your home? That could explain it.

      Have you used the Firefox Developer browser?

      You should try Chrome dev tools in full. I was obsessed with FF for years before until I finally switch over when I got into some heavy JS software dev. It will change your life.

      The features are ridiculous.

        I did try using Chrome dev tools and I'm not into heavy JS development.

        I noticed that it's very difficult to find out the webfont the website is using with Chrome dev tool, but with Firefox it's rather simple: image. Maybe I'm missing something.

        Also perhaps Chrome is better to use on OS X than Firefox, but I'm on Windows with MacType font rendering and Firefox works very well with it. I'm also semi-tinfoil privacy type of a girl and I prefer FF over Chrome because of that.

      damn, thank god I'm not the only one... looking at the thread here, and it looks like it bounces back and forth between chrome and safari... but I've been sticking with Firefox for a long while now, and haven't seen any reason to switch to either of those..although i suppose it may happen eventually...
