Causes issue with Chrome Inspector

[tim92109]

When using prefixfree, when you inspect an element with Chrome Inspector, you will no longer see exactly which line number of your style sheet that the class or ID is being called from. Real pain to have to search your style sheet every time you want to edit an element.

Same issue happened with me and its not limited to Chrome. All external styles are moved inline.

Yea... I loved it at first, but stopped using it as it ended up eating more time than saving time.... just from having to search for elements.

Unfortunately, that's unavoidable at the moment with any JS solution that modifies CSS, as it has to re-request the stylesheet.
Perhaps sourcemaps could help, though I haven't seen any such use of them.

Makes sense. BTW, if you're only coding for modern browsers, is there still a use for prefixfree in 2016?

Certainly not as much as in 2012 when I made it. I still use it, but rarely.
