Mobile device preview - emulator

Question

I can use the built in "Preview on device" but this is limited to my own device.

Resizing the preview screen, whether on live view or the browser is not the same as preview on actual mobile devices due to scaling affect and screen dimensions.

Is there a way to preview my site on mobile emulators using dream weaver?

I'm sure there will be other responses to your query, but I personally do not trust emulations. I have relatively new iPhone and iPad, plus several Android devices: phones and tablets. You can purchase cheap phones and tablets. The phones do not need a phone service - simply connect via your WiFi.

With a manually coded responsive page, a desktop/laptop browser window-resizing session should provide a darn good representation and clue you in if you need more rigorous testing.

Chrome developer tools also does a decent job of representing devices.

What I'm in the dark about is how Bootstrap factors into the equation. I never use Bootstrap, so it might present "unique" variables.
