Google Chrome is my default web browser in all my devices, in this post I'll share with you how to use the console on your mobile devices.
Let's Start.
Android
1 - Enable Developer mode by going to Settings > About phone then tap on Build number 7 times.
2 - Enable USB Debugging from Developer Options.
3 - On your desktop, open DevTools click on more icon then More Tools > Remote Devices.
4 - Check on Discover USB devices option.
5 - Open chrome on your phone.
6 - Plug your phone via USB, then you will see an authorization popup click OK.
7 - You will be able to see your phone tabs and Inspect them.
iOS And Others
Just open new tab and type: chrome://inspect, then click on Start logging button, then visit the page that you want to debug.
I hope this helps you 🙏

Instructions as of February 2021:
Open Chrome app in your mobile phone and tap on 3-dots menu and select Settings option.
It'll open Chrome Settings page.
Scroll down to bottom and under "Advanced" section, tap on About Chrome option.
Tap on "Application version" 7 times to enable developer mode.
It's only April but something must have changed.
There is no "Advanced" in the menu, but I found the version under "Google Chrome" and tapped on it and saw "copied" 7 times, and then nothing happened.
EDIT: After making an error happen, I did start seeing log info in 'chrome://inspect'. I am not sure the Advanced/tapping is even necessary.
And after that? How do you open the developer tools. I can't find it anywhere.
This worked for me Feb 22.
Win10, Android 9 - doesn't work for me, nothing happens when plugging in. USB debugging is on. What now?
Edit: It's a Samsung, maybe that's why

Changing USB connection mode to "Audio Source" while everything was connected worked for me (Win10, Android 8.0).
