Which leads me back to my original point: why are the developer tools there anyway? Message in the developer tools console on There's a reason Facebook shows this message when opening the developer tools: They might be told to run something as harmless as document.querySelector("html").style.opacity = 0 or something much more sinister.

Remember, this is CLI access to all code running on the site. They're only seeing a complex UI with lots of buttons and text they don't understand.īut they might also be tricked to open the developer tools by another person and run commands in the JS console. Most regular users will probably try to close the tools as soon as possibly when they're opened. Most of these are more or less harmless in the hands of non-technical users and semi-harmless in the hands of users who think they what they're doing, but don't. You can edit the content, the markup, the styling, the JS code, local storage, cookies, almost anything. The developer tools also include features to manipulate web pages. I don't think we need to inlcude any more complexities to the web than the user already has to contend with.

Regular users have to pay a prize in installation package size, update size, resource use and UI complexity because of a small minority which use and depend on these features. When anyone non-technical asks me what they are for, I just reply something akin to "just click the little X and don't worry about it, it's some nerd thing". I don't see why they would need it or what they should use it for. I've find it a bit strange that web browsers targeted to regular end users include tools to debug and inspect the code of web pages. I think this should be the case for all the major browsers. In other words, the regular version of Firefox should not include the developer tools. Firefox Developer Edition should be the only version of Firefox that has developer features. It looks like it's going to be a kind of beta version. You'll be able to test upcoming features, whithout being on the bleeding edge. This version is supposed to be a bit ahead of the regular release of Firefox. Mozilla (the creators of Firefox) has also started releasing a Developer Edition of Firefox. I actually quite like the new version 57 of Firefox (or Firefox Quantum as it's also called).
