How to choose between Foxit and jQuery

Both Foxit and jQuery sit in Developer Tools, so running both usually means paying twice for the same job. The better question isn't which tool wins in the abstract — it's which one fits the stack you already run. Newtools keeps a live picture of your stack, spend, and decisions, then recommends the tool that fits and flags the spend you could cut.
