What are the advantages/disadvantages of YSlow over Speed Tracer?

Question

I've used YSlow add in for Firefox and found it useful, does the new new google addin for Chrome give me anything extra?

Answer 1

The tool for Chrome seems to offer a lot more detail, but on the other hand the finest details only apply to Chrome, in other browsers the details will not be the same. YSlow is more of a general tool offering guidelines based on known problems. Even if the tool for Chrome shows a lot of detail, it doesn't seem to offer much suggestions on what to do about any problems.
