DevTools device mode is great for debugging, but it wasn't built for everyday visual testing or presentations.

Advanced features are available with our PRO plans, details are shown inside the extension. ❓ FAQ • Is Mobile FIRST free? Yes. The core simulator is free, and PRO plans unlock advanced features. • Is it a real iPhone or Android emulator? Mobile FIRST is a simulator: it reproduces device screen sizes, touch scrolling and mobile zoom behavior directly inside Chrome. It doesn't run iOS or Android itself, so we still recommend a final check on a real device for 100% validation. • Can I compare several devices at once? Yes. Multi-device comparison shows multiple phones and tablets side by side. • My device isn't in the list. Can I add it? Yes. Create a custom device with any screen resolution and viewport, and save it for later. • Can I record a demo for a client? Yes. Record your screen in MP4, WEBM or GIF, or take transparent PNG screenshots in one click. ✨ Behind the scenes, Mobile FIRST includes many technical tricks to reproduce the mobile experience as faithfully as possible. 👉 Click "Add to Chrome" and see your website through your users' eyes.
