What browser do you use for development?

We currently use Firefox to compare different websites and help ranking. On the Firefox plugins section they is a great plugin called SEO Quake that gives you a full details of a domains ranking and backlinks so you know your competitors!

My hatred of IE made me an instant Firefox fan, but with the evolution of ever more quality browsers - all constantly leapfrogging each other - I go back and forth. I tend to get carried away opening tabs, which, of course, takes a lot of memory. Firefox eventually seemed too slow, which helped persuade me to switch to Chrome.

Though Google doesn’t have Microsoft’s problems, it’s still too big and domineering, and I think it’s really important to support the competition. At the same time, it seemed like Chrome was becoming a bit of a memory hog, too. So I rediscovered Opera (Opera Developer), which I really like, followed by Vivaldi.

But I really haven’t learned how to use browsers for development so much as simply previewing web pages. I remember Firefox had some cool features for enabling and disabling this and that, but I haven’t really checked out all the other browsers. It’s hard to keep up with all the changes.
