🦊 Firefox 149 brings some interesting dev-focused features!
Split View - Finally! Perfect for: • Side-by-side responsive design testing • Documentation + code editor workflow
• API testing with docs open • Comparing staging vs production
No more awkward window management or second monitor dependency.
Built-in VPN implications for developers: ✅ Testing geo-restrictions without separate VPN apps ✅ Privacy during development - ISP can't track your API calls ✅ Remote work security when using public WiFi ❌ Limited to 50GB/month - might not cover heavy development
Browser testing tip: The new features mean updating your cross-browser test matrix. Split View might affect how users interact with web apps.
Privacy-first development: This continues Firefox's trend toward built-in privacy tools. Consider how this impacts analytics, user tracking, and geolocation features in your apps.
Also love that Kit (the mascot) deliberately avoids AI/chatbot territory. Sometimes simple is better! 🎨
Anyone planning to integrate the Split View workflow into their development setup?
