3 useful features from Opera Dev tools that Chrome is missing

  • The first two points seem more inline with Chrome for Android... but afiak, Chrome does have remote debugging built-in, you just have to enable it via command line. It's build into WebKit and then up to the vendor to enable it... (I wish Safari on iOS had it...)

    I agree with #3... a way to create requests with custom headers would be fantastic.. for example when you're trying to connect to an API via JS...

  • This first point is wrong, it is easy to enable remote debugging, https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/re...

    Point 3# is spot on though.

    ps. Do sites realize that their slide out social buttons things actually cover the scrollbar making it impossible to scroll using a mouse click.

  • For those looking for something similar to the tool described in point #3, I've been using a very helpful chrome extension called 'REST Console' for that exact purpose: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cokgbflfommojglbmb...

  • I only problem with Opera's Dragonfly - and I mean only - is that I (seem to) need an active internet connection to use it.

    Twice in the last year I have started working on experimental UI stuff on a plane, run into a quirk, and tried to start debugging... the futility only hits me once it fails to come right up.

    I have all the usual http servers installed on my laptop, so it would be alright if I just needed to deploy something locally. But Opera has that capability baked into the browser already, so I'd appreciate it if they could just toss in Dragonfly as well.
