@aral @neave @walterstephanie @i0n1c I agree, and just filed a bug for our devtools:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953166 …
@tschneidereit @aral @walterstephanie @i0n1c Nice! It may make sense to follow Safari’s lead and have a pref to enable any dev tools.
@neave @aral @walterstephanie @i0n1c I don't think I agree. It should be accessible, but not surprising. Comment 1 in that bug is spot-on.
@tschneidereit @aral @walterstephanie @i0n1c To counter, no mobile browser comes with dev tools on by default. Apps don’t have debug mode…
@neave @aral @walterstephanie Apps not having dbg mode is a problem, not a counter arg. Web apps get this for free:https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/10/introducing-the-firefox-os-app-manager/ …
@tschneidereit @aral @walterstephanie Depends on your POV. Websites/apps are primarily for users, not devs. A simple “dev mode” switch helps
@neave @aral @walterstephanie Yes, but reduced friction is important there. How about an explanation with the option to turn devtools off?
@tschneidereit @aral @walterstephanie Perhaps a splashscreen covering the dev tools panel on first appearance would suffice, click to enable
@aral @neave @walterstephanie @i0n1c *were (not we’re) — I think I need a shower now :)
