Hello my friends.
I'm looking for the best browser for developers. A browser that can report javascript and CSS errors with a helpful description about that.
What's the best browser in this subject.
Thanks.

+1, but don't forget about the Web Developer and possibly Colorzilla as well.

firefox with firebug is really good. I also really like developer tools which come with chrome, it's similar to firebug

Yeah I agree with Shawn, Chrome's built in developer tools are great. Auditing, resource tracking, etc. All there in background, no extensions required.

At the end of the day, it's just preference, but I highly recommend using a webkit based browser such as Chrome or Firefox, because in terms of standards and layouts, making a valid and correct site/layout in those and modifying CSS for IE cases, than the other way around.

Ya, Chrome & Safari (and a few builds of Konquerer) are webkit based. Firefox is Gecko.
