Google Chrome for developers?
text 08:58:46
In all the commentary about Google’s new browser, I haven’t seen any note of a feature that’s becoming central to many other browsers - development tools.
After all, Firefox has the pack-leading Firebug, and Safari’s (bundled) Web Inspector is getting more capable with every release. Given Chrome’s process manager, at least a profiler for developers (to make sure their web applications don’t kill it) wouldn’t go amiss. As it is, though, nothing’s been mentioned, and I haven’t seen any notes on extensibility, either (meaning a third party can’t write something like Firebug (although presumably the recently-improved Lite cousin will work)).
On the other hand, it’s not even out yet. Maybe I should give Google a little time.
