I'm looking for something like this but works with vim. Editing chrome snippets [1] in the dev tools is not fun.

This looks very useful, but it does concern me that this is even possible. Simply starting chrome with a `--remote-debug` flag allows you to run JavaScript in any tab? seems like it could easily be exploited somehow; read passwords, copy userinfo etc.

Remember that if you have access to run a shell command, you have access to rm -rf /*.

While this looks awesome, it runs really slow for me. From sending a command in Sublime to the actual execution, it takes me > 1s. This is on Windows 10, Sublime Text 3, Chrome 66.

EDIT: if I install chromeREPL, it takes ages to open the command palette (CTL+Shift+P). If I uninstall it, the problem disappears.

Is there something similar for Firefox?

There used to be MozREPL: https://github.com/bard/mozrepl but it never made it over the webextension/quantum changeover.

I haven't yet found a replacement, although I haven't been looking very hard recently.

ClojureScript has this for ages (see Figwheel + Emacs + CIDER)

Is there a similar extension for vscode or onivim?

https://quokkajs.com/ seems to have similar use case.

Yes true, the chrome flags are the least of your problems then!
