There is no doubt that, besides the Elements tool, Console is the most used part of the browser developer tools. (All browsers with developer tools following the standard) Here’s a write-up of all the things I covered: 1. You can watch the recording of the talk on Youtube. I am a principal product manager for developer tools in Microsoft Edge and these are things I encountered during working on the tools, documenting them and going through user feedback. This is a talk that I’ve given at CityJS this September. Some functionality is only available inside Visual Studio Code via the Edge DevTools for VS Code extension. But some of the things I am talking about here are experiments and exclusively in Microsoft Edge, which is available on Windows, Mac and Linux. Edge Developer Tools work closely with Google on bringing the work we add to the product back into the Chromium Core.

They differ in UX and services around the core. As a reminder: Microsoft Edge is the browser that comes with Windows 10/11 and is based on Chromium and thus from a platform perspective simular to Chrome. This is Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave and many more. When I state “Chromium browsers”, this refers to all browsers that use the Chromium core and also feature all the Developer Tools. Update: As this is blowing up on Hackernews I added information to each of the tips in which environment they are supported in parenthesis after each heading.
