Description Mickael Istria CLA 2016-12-01 03:35:31 EST
As a web/mobile developer
I'd like to test my web page against browsers of different sizes that would be the typical size of most popular mobile devices

An interesting workflow would be to provide a "mutli-web-browser" editor (could be open with Right-Click > Open With) that would open the page with different sizes simultaneously, and ideally refresh automatically on resource change.

The idea sounds good but I'm not sure that there's enough space to show them all at once, another approach would be to have set of Radio-Buttons next to the Embedded-Browser who allows to switch size.

Yes, size is the concern. Ability to simultaneously render on different size is important for Web developers. So we could imagine a way for users to define/choose different sizes.

By the way, I believe this is a great proposal (to change it in existing browser), much simpler than the one I have described here and already providing a lot of value.
Can you please put it in a different bug and link those 2 ones together? I believe your proposal is an easier target for Oxygen and an important milestone towards (maybe) going for a multi-browser.

I created bug 508519 before we forget this nice idea.

In a customer project we used Firebug Lite embedded in the Browser widget to debug its HTML contents. Maybe, that is an option, too? I am not sure if the device preview works in Firebig Lite as well, but could be worth a try.
