I switched to Firefox for regular browsing, but use Chrome for development because their devtools is so much better. I hope Firefox invests more in devtools development, honestly. More devs developing on FF could lead to higher adoption.

Mozilla recently got rid of the devtools team: https://twitter.com/flaviocopes/status/1293510322528100352
Ah, good timing, immediately after they broke the thing that lets you view the contents of websocket messages.
That's not great. I didn't know this, thanks for pointing it out.
That's very interesting. Personally, I much prefer the Firefox development tools. Mind if I ask what you like about the Chrome ones, compared to Firefox'?
Vue devtools only integrates with chrome devtools AFAIK, and I work with vue quite a bit.

Other than that, I'll admit, a large part of it is familiarity.

I am doing the same. I have developer plugins installed on Chrome and productivity plugins installed on Firefox (Tree Style Tabs, Grammarly).
