Web Inspector Settings
Developers often have varying preferences or workflows that can significantly affect their productivity.
Sources Tab
The Sources Tab is the one-stop shop for all things related to the inspected target’s resources, including dynamic resources from things like XMLHttpRequest or fetch.
Script Blackboxing
Often when debugging a website that uses JavaScript libraries/frameworks, the JavaScript debugger will still pause JavaScript execution in the JavaScript library/framework.
Page Overlay
When trying to inspect the DOM/CSS of any page, often the first step is finding the specific DOM node in the DOM Tree of the Elements Tab.
Console Command Line API
One of the most useful parts of Web Inspector is being able to generate interactive visualizations of any value in the Console.
