a dev-tool-first browser

OP! This!

As a power user, I like Vivaldi a lot -- customize everything.

As a developer, I prefer Firefox Quantum -- unmatched dev tools.

I can't immediately think of what a browser could bring to the table to make me install/load a different one... because they all war to be your default, I barely even use Vivaldi anymore.

You'd have to get crafty with real estate, I think. Since the current tools sort of overwrite the content visually, something clever might be done with semi-transparent overlays... perhaps specific extensions along the line of various tests (Mozilla's Observatory, Google's Mobilefriendly, etc).

I agree with you, there was a time I kind of had fierce opinions on browsers but now days, as long as it renders my stuff consistently I'm fine with it.
