So you've finally realized that while Chrome might be fast, it sacrifices creature comforts to be so. It's a little bit like living in a whitewashed room with nothing more than a beige-box PC and keyboard -- it works, but it's not a particularly fun experience. If you like car analogies, Chrome is like a race-tuned Ferrari with hard-plastic bucket seats and tubular titanium roll cage. Likewise, ...

We can attest to debugging JavaScript into the wee hours of the night, and trying to get rid of ...

Here's one for the Web 2.0 developers: FireBug. It's an extension for Firefox to aid in debugging JavaScript/DHTML/AJAX web apps.
