Comment on Firefox Add-on Enables Web Development Across Browsers and Devices

Comments

Kudos to Mozilla for tackling a huge pain point (having to learn three sets of dev tools because each browser speaks its own protocol sucks).

I'm most familiar with the WebKit/Chrome Dev Tools, and found this awesome project via Mozilla's post:

If it works as advertised, it'll let you connect to iOS browsers from Chrome Dev Tools. Honestly, I'm surprised they don't have a version of this compiled into Chrome for iOS.

If you're on Windows I've been able to do this with Telerik's AppBuilder (http://docs.telerik.com/platform/appbuilder/debugging-your-c...)

It opens up a Webkit Dev Tools that are pretty close to the latest Chrome version and lets you interact with Safari on iOS. Even highlights elements the same as desktop.

Have you tried Weinre?
