Review summary

Users find Apollo Client Devtools valuable for Apollo GraphQL debugging when it works correctly, requiring configuration with 'connectToDevTools: true'. However, many report the add-on is unreliable on Firefox and LinuxMint, with issues like failure to connect, missing developer tools tab, freezing, and disappearing functionality. Some suspect the Firefox support is weaker compared to Chromium. When operational, it is appreciated; otherwise, it causes frustration due to instability and lack of clear integration.

Pros

Useful for developers working with Apollo GraphQL when it functions properly.
Works well if configured correctly, specifically by adding 'connectToDevTools: true' in ApolloClient settings.
Helpful for debugging Apollo queries within browser developer tools.

Cons

Frequently does not work or fails to connect, especially on LinuxMint and Firefox.
Often causes the developer tools tab to not appear or disappear without explanation.
Freezes or stops updating, requiring removal and reinstallation to fix.
No clear visibility or indication in Firefox extensions or developer tools, unlike in Chromium browsers.
