Firefox's web developer console separates the different elements of a web page and puts them each in their own page under the Network page. Why doesn't your browser do that? The Media page is useful to me because when I wanna get the URL for a radio or video stream, I go right there and it's easy to see. Your browser console puts all the elements together, so it's harder to find. I know your target audience is developers and I guess they wouldn't be bothered by all of the elements being listed together. I'm not a developer(I'm very sad to say. I really wanted to be, but my brain just doesn't wanna do it), so I'm more comfortable with the elements listed separately.

I have 3 quick questions:

  1. Why is your browser the only mobile browser with a developer console? You would think there would be a few more, but shockingly there aren't. I think there's sort of one more, but it wasn't working for me.
  2. What is the pencil in the browser's menu bar for?
  3. Why does your documentation only talk about the developer console and not the rest of the browser?

Thank You

So I found another browser that does what I need. It's called Kiwi. It's not as easy as Firefox, but it does what I need it to do. So never mind I guess. But I don't see why you can't add the functionality I asked for. Or maybe you can tell me why the radio stream URL is nowhere to be found in the Eruda developer console. You can test it yourself by trying to find the stream URL for an iHeart.com radio stream.

Here's an example of a radio stream URL: https://n47a-e2.revma.ihrhls.com/zc569/71_1fc19bgpm8lgw02/main/173191380.aac
It's for this radio station: https://wiod.iheart.com/ If you try to play that URL, it won't work. You have to delete everything after zc569 to get it to play. Another weird thing about this URL is it started hanging VLC when I tried to play it. One time, instead of killing VLC, I hit the back arrow to go from where you go to paste or type a stream URL back to the main page. A VLC message box popped up that said the site's certificate was untrusted. I pressed View Certifficate. Then I pressed Allow Site (Or something like that), and now the URL plays. I've played hundreds of streams in VLC and I'd never seen an untrusted certificate message box before. I only mention all that in case you wanna try to get a radio stream URL with Eruda's developer console from iHeart.com, to make sure you know everything I know.

Thanks

Eruda is not a web browser. Eruda is a tool to have access to a developer console (page elements, JS console, network request analysis, file resources, etc.) (refer to attachment 1) in mobile environments (refer to attachment 2), because mobile browsers do not have this extremely essential component for web-based software development. I honestly don't know where you got the idea that Eruda is a browser in and of itself. It's just a tool to inject into pages so software devs have access to a fully featured console on mobile browsers that works similarly to the console in desktop browsers.

I don't think this is a valid issue, and I don't think what you're asking of the developer applies to what this project is and aims to do.

Then I suggest you come to Github and close the issue as invalid.
