Javascript debugging

Question

I have recently started to tinker with Project Euler problems and I try to solve them in Javascript. Doing this I tend to produce many endless loops, and now I'm wondering if there is any better way to terminate the script than killing the tab in Firefox or Chrome?

Also, is firebug still considered the "best" debugger (myself I can't see much difference between firebug and web dev tool in safari/chrome ).

Any how have a nice Sunday!

Answer 1

Firebug is still my personal tool of choice.

As for a way of killing your endless loops. Some browsers will prevent this from happening altogether. However, I still prefer just going ctrl + w, but this still closes the tab.

Some of the other alternatives you can look into:

Opera : Dragonfly

Safari / Chrome : Web Inspector

Although, Opera has a nice set of developer tools which I have found pretty useful. (Tools->Advanced->Developer Tools)
