At times I need to open the developer console/inspect element panel from my phone. The Kiwi browser allowed you to do that but its development has stopped. Are there any other browsers that have this function? Either chromium or firefox-based is fine. Alternatively, do you know of any other workarounds for this that do not involve a computer?

    I’ve haven’t used it before just now but the Android version of Firefox has an extension called “MobiDevTools” on their extension store. It has various web developer tools, including a developer console. For some reason it doesn’t seem to open when I’m on the extension store but it works just fine with every other website I tried.

      all addons are prohibited to run on a few protected domains like the adfons store. this is an old security measure, desktop has it too

      Firefox marks certain pages as privileged and no extensions will run on them. You’re probably encountering this issue. You can see the full list here.

      Someone mentioned this in the cross-post. It seems the best alternative so far but I think it doesn’t let you edit the html, only remove elements, and the network tab doesn’t really work because the extension closes on refresh. The console should work fine though

        if the console works fine, you should be able to use javascript to edit/manipulate the html. just need to learn a bit of js and css selectors.
