Essential for website quality assurance and front-end development
Our desks used to be full of devices – iphone, android phone, ipad, macbook and windows laptop. Refreshing all the screens to see if the client's website looked great at different viewpoints took time. Probably 40% of the build time is QA and testing. Polypane solves this problem by letting you view multiple viewports and set guides/rulers to see if everything lines up as you scroll.
PROSThe passion of the creator and constant improvement. We mostly use this for testing website responsive viewport sizes side-by-side, but there is so much more here.
CONSThe refresh icon was on the right side of the address bar (a hang over of previous browser UI), but this changed last year. The expereince is seamless coming from using F12 in Chrome.
Reasons for switching to Polypane
Abandonware. With browsers changing all the time it's vital to invest in software that gets updated.

Polypane as a next generation tool for software developers.
It's new and professional. I see myself using it a lot in feature.
PROSI like the responsiveness in terms of moving the pages around and especially the interface.
CONSI have not found anything discouraging about the App but I have experienced some functional inadequacies like not being able to submit a form across all screen sizes with a click from one screen resolution and struggling to find the settings icon.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your kind review! Regarding your findings: We explicitly prevent doing multiple form submissions, this is explained in the documentation: https://polypane.app/docs/synced-interactions/#form-submissions-are-prevented If we submit a form multiple times, that means that your server is going to perform that action for each pane separately. If that actions is for example "Delete the latest item", then instead of deleting one item, you delete an item for each pane, and that would be bad. Each tool in Polypane has its own settings, they're not put in one large settings overview to get lost in. Hope that helps!

Thought on polypane
Polypane is really good and i love the appearance and it functionalities.
PROSPolypane is featured packed, and the deviation from traditional browsers. I loke it speed and multiple pane pictures. It has a brilliant staff management's to manage memory.
CONSDue to the massive features and deviations from traditional browsers, it takes a while to know how polypane works.

Cool Browser for Devs
It's pretty good to be honest, very sleek appearance, extensive configuration, really great assets for any web developer. Better than LambdaTest in my opinion.
PROSSpeed, Polypane is really fast, handles tabs efficiently and better than some traditional apps. I started using it for the multiple panes feature and I love it so much
CONSThis is a browser for devs, I don't think other users will pay to use it, so maybe if they want other users they should review the pricing.

Polypane review by UI/UX Designer
I liked that i could check the website across different screens at once without issues. This sped up my developer review tasks significantly
CONSOther browsers are usually free, while i can't find extension for the feature i like yet, it may be available eventually. For that i think $9/month is a bit too high

Time saving development browser
I like how packaged the interface is like. You can have the tools in separate services but with Polypane, all is well integrated. You save time and it allow to be more focused because you don't have to switch between tools.
CONSIt require a bit of a learning curve. To be effective you have to explore, try and customize the interface.

Saves time!
The interface is very nice and clean. The Workspace feature is great. I also like the intergrations and the possibility to add third party browser extensions. It helps me a lot to save time and money during web development.
CONSThere's nothing to criticize at the moment.
Reasons for switching to Polypane
Polypane is cheaper and has better integrations.

My thoughts on polyplane
Overall the experience is pretty good, I'd say value for money.
PROSI liked the that I can view different screens at once, and there's a browser that comes in handy when I need to troubleshoot / read docs on a library
CONSI think it does have a learning curve, and takes some getting used to.

The developers sidekick
Polypane has become a mainstay of my website design and building process. I can't imagine working without it. It's a really great tool for creating websites across different viewports. Synchronised scrolling makes it really easy to see how the site will behave. The accessibility tools in Polypane are outstanding. It's something I've always tried to get better at but Polypane really does feel like a superpower. With Polypane, I can make sure that the websites and apps, I'm building will work right across any kind of device.
CONSI don't have anything bad to say about Polypane, it's a really great tool.

Polypane EO
It's nice to have constant updates and innovations. The interface also looks nicer than other browsers.
CONSI use this software as a browser. I can say that there is nothing bad about it. If you are only going to use it as a browser, it will do the job well.
Reasons for switching to Polypane

Great Tool for SEO Professionals!
I'm able to more deeply and methodically check out websites as I develop them, and am very impressed by the company owner reaching out to me to see if there's anything he can do to help.
PROSWith Polypane, I've been able to remove about a dozen SEO and accessibility-checking plugins from my web browsers, speeding up my computer and removing clutter. But there's surprisingly no impact on my computer's speed by keeping Polypane open alongside my other browsers.
CONSI wish I could pin tabs for things like my password manager so that I can easily pull up website passwords as I work on the sites—although that functionality could be there and I just haven't found it yet.

Very helpful and efficient!
Overall, I love everything about Polypane! As a front end/software engineer, I can develop and test my work pretty quickly with all the tools around. Every time I use polypane, I find something new which is super fun. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is also a really nice person and responds to my emails and he was super helpful. He works hard to make sure other developers(us) have a better time developing!
PROSI like the accessibility features the most because usually I would need many different extensions to test accessibility stuff, but Polypane has it all in one place.
CONSSometimes it's a bit slow especially when there's multiple windows/panes open. I usually have around 3-4 panes of different sizes open and that's a good spot, but when I want to fully test the responsiveness of my work, I open around like 10 panes and it gets a bit laggy(it could be my laptop)

EXPERIENCE WITH POLYPANE
Overall, with the features and the functionality of the app it is better than most traditional apps i have used so far therefore the exception on it is still the best.
PROSPolypane has extensive features than traditional apps I have tried, I like this variation, and I especially like the synchronised multiple panes features
CONSDue to the features being different from the norm, polypane has a bit of learning curve and getting used to, while this caused me some strain, I totally understand that it had to take some time to be used to it

Useful even for simple web-development !
I'm a very basic user of Polypane and used it to manage the creation of my personal blog (using Pelican). It was the only browser that allowed me to live-preview my css/plugins change thanks to reloading features. I have also been surprised by the "accessibility checking" features that are very useful.
PROS- "accessibility checking" features - Responsive workspaces features And all the small features here and there that are just pleasant to have.
CONSThe latest update "Polypane 8" fixed most of the issues I had ! I still think performances can be improved but nothing important for me.
