What makes a web browser most efficient – user-friendliness or developer-friendliness? Google Chrome has always believed that browsers are for mass use and so, has added lots of useful apps to offer a pleasant user-experience. However, Mozilla Firefox, favors \u201ccoding-friendly\u201d<\/b> features.<\/p>\n
At the end of August, Mozilla released its Firefox 16, and with it, introduced two exciting coding tools- the \u201cdeveloper toolbar\u201d<\/b> and \u201ccommand line\u201d<\/b> tool. The developer toolbar is a web programmer\u2019s best friend. It let\u2019s you inspect the HTML, JavaScript and CSS, so that you know what lies beneath a beautiful web page. To check how it works, open a website and hit Shift+F2. The toolbar will appear at the bottom of the page. It features console, inspector, debugger button and command line.<\/p>\n
The command line works just like the way people use \u201cCtrl+F\u201d command. The only difference is that instead of words, it helps you search a particular programming element faster. For instance, if you type \u201cinspect h3\u201d and click return, an inspector panel will open displaying all the H3 tags in the page.<\/p>\n
It offers 16 inbuilt commands and some of them are- \u201cresize\u201d for responsive design, \u201cpagemod\u201d for online editing and \u201ccookie\u201d for inspecting cookies. Console, inspector and debugger buttons offer one click access to all the elements behind the layout of a web page.<\/p>\n
These new tools are certainly very helpful for newbie programmers, but they also break the boundaries of professional ethics. Introduction of developer toolbar will encourage code copycats. After all, if everything is easily available, why should someone spend hours to create a great banner or menu bar?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
