How do i enable the developer mode in google chrome browser (mac)
I cannot find answer
Code is not applicable
Output is also not applicable
Open Chrome Browser
Click on : button
Select Settings
Click Extensions
Toggle the Developer Mode option
On my school chromebook developer tools just got disabled or something.
When i right click to inspect an element, the "inspect" button is grayed out and if i click the options button in the top right, go down to more tools the developer tools button is grayed out there too.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening and why it is happening?
(Developer mode is enabled on my chromebook)
On a Chromebook, Chrome Developer Tools is enabled/disabled through Chrome Policies, which is maintained by the Chrome Management Console as part of a Google Work account. In this case, the policy is DeveloperToolsDisabled.
In Windows, it is possible to enable/disable it in the registry, and there is possibly a Preferences file in OSX.
I'm afraid you would need to speak to your school's IT department about this, as they are the only ones with access to these policies.
Is it possible for chrome dev tools to remember preferences when loading a new incognito session?
I prefer to have dev tools docked on the right - and it's annoying to constantly set this every time a new incognito instance is started.
A similar question was filed as an issue on the chromium project here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=376788
Currently it's possible only with Chrome Canary:
DevTools will now persist your appearance preferences (docking
position, size, pane layout, etc) and devtools settings (disable
cache, etc) into the incognito window.
About the feature
Download Chrome Canary here
I am using chrome version 36+
according to this page, I should be able to allow custom themes using the following instructions:
Installation Instructions
Add this theme
Goto chrome://flags and Enable Developer Tools experiments.
Open developer tools settings, select Experiments tab, and check 'Allow custom UI themes'.
Reload devtools.
I do not see such a tab in the dev tools settings. I see only 'general', 'workspace', and 'shortcuts'
These are some simple steps to follow, hope it will be helpful.
Open a new chrome tab, type chrome://flags
Find, "Enable Developer Tools experiments." using ctrl/cmd+f or simply searching for it by scrolling down the page.
Click the "enable" link
Click on "Relaunch Now" at the bottom of the page.
After restarting Chrome, open DevTools, DevTools settings, and select the experiments tab.
Now select the experiment you want (e.g. "Allow custom UI themes").
You need to reload devtools after: Alt-R will reload devtools itself, or you can just close and reopen it.
To get to the Dev Tools Experiments area you have to click on the gear icon in the inspector.
If still not working you should go to:
chrome://extensions/
And click the 'Enable' checkbox for the DevTools extension you wish to enable.
Had the same issue,
I found I was going to browser settings which is NOT where you should be going to ,
You need to go to developer setting .
i.e right click>inspect element> dev tools
You need to restart the browser after changing the flag at chrome://flags
I found it. There is a checkbox under experiments tab:
Allow custom UI themes
Restart chrome just not means to close the chrome and then open it. you should click the 'Relaunch Now' button of the flags tab. and then it's work for me.
loislo's answer is absolutely right (You need to restart the browser after changing the flag at chrome://flags). But notice that your chrome can work in the background. Go to the tray, look for the chrome icon and exit.
Navigate to chrome://flags/
Find and enable Developer Tools experiments Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
Relaunch Chrome, open develop tool, setting, you will see experiments tab.
My Chrome version: Version 61.0.3163.100
2022 update: There doesn't seem to be any option in chrome://flags but there is an option:
devtools > settings > experiments > Allow extensions to load custom stylesheets
I've just installed Google Canary on my Mac. I want to have a play with the Experiments in the google developer tools. But I can't for the life of me find where/how to enable them.
I specifically want to look at using/editing SASS in the browser.
Thanks

Found it
In chrome go to chrome://flags and enable it there.
Go to chrome://flags.
Find Developer Tools Experiments.
Enable it.
Click Relaunch Now to relaunch Chrome.
In the DevTools settings, there's now a new Experiments tab.
Cheers
