Hey Nitin, thanks for mentioning Polypane!

Something that really sets Polypane apart from all the others (other than the additional focus on accessibility as you mentioned) is that we developed our own elements panel that lets you edit sites in all panes at the same time! There's no other browser out there that does that.

Here's a short video:

Similarly we also have a console that lets you get console commands and interact with all panes at the same time:

Polypane does a whole lot more than any of the other responsive design browsers out there ...we just have a better interface so we don't push it in your face all at once ;)

Really great article. I love Firefox Dev Edition. I recently got turned on to Blisk. It was great until I realized all of the screen resolution testing features were paid services. Might be worth the upgrade, but definitely worth the look.

Great article! It's always fascinating to explore different web browsers and their functionalities. I recently came across an interesting Post on 'What are the best web browsers for web development?' It offers a comprehensive analysis of various browsers, their developer tools, and their suitability for different coding tasks. If you're interested in diving deeper into this topic, you might find it worth checking out. Happy browsing and developing!
