I use the Chrome Developer tools pretty much daily, but there are a few things I wish I knew earlier

These are nice tips! To add to a few more:
$0
is the currently selected element in the elements viewer tab$$()
is shorthand fordocument.querySelectorAll()
You can use the color picker to get a color on any page by clicking on a color box in the css. You can change the color format with the arrows to the right.
To add to this: $1 is the previously selected element, $2 the one before that, etc, etc.
Wow, it seems so obvious, but I never even knew that.
Chrome dev tools has a dark mode :)
Chrome Dev Tools supports themes!
chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...
I made little tweaks to it

True, and it looks quite pleasing.
👍 Nice article.
Don't forget the styling in console.log 😄
and the dark theme
Does anyone know if Chrome has any support for better flex/grid debugging like Firefox has? I know you can hover on a div that has a grid and it shows an outline. But I have not see really anything for flex.
This is what is holding me back from using Chrome full time. Really love those features from Firefox.
In the console, if you do
document.designMode = "on"
you can then edit the page in your browser as WYSIWYG.Great to mock-up screenshots!
A convenient bookmarklet for toggling it:
Thank you for the Blog,
The live expressions thing is an absolute gamechanger, I feel like such an idiot as it is literally right there and I've never bothered to find out what it did.
we never forget we never forgive...
how Chrome kill Firebug

Great article :)
These are all great! It always amazes me what the tools I'm already using can do that I don't know about yet :) Thanks!

after storing as global variable 🥰OMG the first 2 ones are 100% new to me! They are awesome! Thanks!
All were great. Add ‘Control + P’ shortcut pressed anywhere in the devtools to search for any file in thr current project for a quick and easy access. Useful if you r working in Angular with lots of components and files in the tree view.
You can add
-method: OPTIONS
to remove all option calls in the network tab.Wow !!
Thanks for the great post! Didn't know many of them!
What I also use from time to time is the F8 shortcut. It's nice if you want to freeze the page e.g. for debugging dynamic hover styles which are not triggered by hover, but by some js logic.
Right forgot about that! It is super useful, sometimes its hard to get to an element that is only triggered by some unknown code.
Thanks for the article, great tips! I actually had a couple of "a-ha" moments, especially the console.table statement which will be super useful for me going forward.

Eye opener, didn't know many of them! Thanks!
Number 10 is gonna save my life
Awesome!
Does someone knows if I can disable the auto-correction of html in the DevTools? Or at least show a warning that this is not the current code?
This is really helpful... 👍🏻
Wwow! Really helpful. I never knew we can do these things with Chrome DEV tools
Wow, did not know about the live expressions! That is awesome!
Disabling caching. That will definitely go in my back pocket.
