Safari continues to have the best developer tools, so long as you don't need to debug JavaScript.

I use Safari for day-to-day web browsing and Chrome for development. Feels like the best of both worlds to me.

I don't think JS debugging in Safari is that bad.

But I also use it as my main browser, so maybe there are some nicer features in other browser dev tools I haven't been exposed too.

The Chrome tool where you can edit CSS inside the inspect panel and it writes it to the CSS file is amazing and I really miss that in Safari.

Safari's dev tools are ... just bad. They are frustratingly cumbersome to use: https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1711701552082079764
