Best Browsers To Use For JavaScript
As a burgeoning developer, I always believed that Google Chrome was the best and only internet browser for software developers/engineers. As it turns out, there are other browsers to consider using depending on your workflow, style, and coding needs. I’ll touch on two internet browsers that I wasn’t aware of, as well as a sub-browser of Google Chrome for developers that I also wasn’t privy to!
Here are two browsers you should consider exploring and potentially downloading as a software developer.
- FireFox Developer Edition
If you’re looking for speed and awesome developer tools, then firefox dev edition is the browser for you. With access to a next generation CSS engine, you’ll be building stunning websites in no time with one of the best-in-class JavaScript debuggers.

2. PolyPane
To be honest, I hadn’t heard of this particular browser. Polypane was built specifically with developers in mind and is packed with a ton of useful features. The driving force behind Polypane is to help developers build high-quality websites in everything from WordPress to Angular. One of the best features of PolyPlane is that it works with any code editor and technology stack.

3. Google Chrome Developer Tools
One of the world’s most widely use browsers. Google Chrome has endless tools and add-ons to help elevate your developer experience. One particular sub-browser I was unfamiliar with was Google Chrome Developer tools. To download, visit: https://www.google.com/chrome/dev/.
I hope this brief articles helps to expand your understanding of different tools and browsers that exist out there for software developers!
This recent discovery certainly made me more self-aware of the importance of periodically doing an audit of my development tools to determine whether I’m using the newest or best tools for my coding.
