I don't know why it is showing the console menu like this.
If I hide the settings it will display
when I click on the error dropdown
This is how I want it to look like
Unfortunately, this is a browser update with Chrome DevTools in v58 https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/03/devtools-release-notes#console
Use Chromium builds, at least that still has the filter options.

Today I just updated my chrome after 1-2 years. Now I have chromium with version 50.14.22.465. When I'm inspecting some elements and something in JavaScript prints error to the console, it will also open chrome's drawer. So it looks like this:
I know that I can hide it with ESC key, but when I refersh website and another error comes to the console, drawer is openned again. How can I turn this off permanently?
And in the newest chrome you cannot disable "Highlighting DOM updates"? Uhh, gross.
Is there any possibility to Restrict opening this part of Browser's inspector? I hope there will be something which can help me to hide when my web page loads.

No, there is no supported way to hide your website loading from the developer console.
Why do you want to do this? I cannot think of any legitimate reason to do this.
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
According to Google this can be accomplished by visiting "chrome-devtools://devtools/devtools.html" in Chrome but now visiting that page in the stable version of Chrome (or Canary), just shows a 99% stripped version of the inspector.
To reiterate my "title" this is in reference to "inspecting" the inspector. Not just inspecting a normal webpage.
And while I don't think it's necessary to know to resolve the issue, I"m inspecting the inspector so I can style it as discussed by Paul Irish and here: https://darcyclarke.me/articles/development/skin-your-chrome-inspector/
Follow these easy steps!
Press Command+Option+i (Ctrl+Shift+i on Windows) to open DevTools.
Make sure that the developer tools are undocked into a new window. You may have to undock from the menu:
Press Command+Option+i again on this new window.
That will open the DevTools on the DevTools.
You can redock the page's DevTools if you want.
If it's not already, select Elements — it's the first icon at the top of the inspector.
A little beyond the scope of your question, but still valid in understanding why you're experiencing your problem can be found by understanding how Chrome Developer Tools: Remote Debugging works.
Open chrome://inspect
Open the inspector on that page (cmd + alt + i)
Scroll to the bottom of the page, under the Other section click the inspect link
The URL in the Other section should look something like this:
chrome-devtools://devtools/devtools.html?docked=true&dockSide=bottom&toolbarColor=rgba(230,230,230,1…
EDIT: they've fancied up the chrome:inspect page so you have to click the Other header on the left to get this to work now.
I just got this to work. The key is that you have to start up chrome in 'Remote Debugging' mode.
on OSX, open an terminal window and execute the following:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
On windows, Its
chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222
(better windows instructions can be found here: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/remote-debugging#remote)
This will start up an instance of chrome, that will send debugging messages to a local webserver on port 9222.
If you access that web service, it will give you the ability to use the inspector to inspect any chrome window that is running. Since we want to inspect the inspector, we need to start an inspector window first (As above Use the shortcut keys; for Mac it's Command+option+i.)
Now, go ahead and navigate to
http://localhost:9222
It will present you with a list of windows to display in the debugger. Select the window that starts with "Developer Tools" and you'll be able to inspect the css for the inspector.
Its hard to see in the image below, but on the left I have my chrome window pointing at the remote debugger, highlighting one of the toolbar labels. On the right you see it lit up with the tooltip just as if we were debugging a web page.
A few weeks ago somebody pointed this out in stackoverflow's "javscript" chatroom. First, and very importantly, make sure the inspector is undocked from your browser window. Then it's just a matter of opening a inspector window and then inspecting that window. In windows it's CtrlShiftI (Edit: I said, CtrlShiftI but that brings up the console inspecting the console... you should be able to navigate back and forth.) for the keyboard shortcut. (Other keyboard combos for other options and OSes here and here.) Just do that twice and you're good.
Edit: ok, you're probably confused as to undock the window. This is what you'd click if it's docked..
Edit II: I'm not quite sure why you can't inspect. JDavis's answer is consistent with the Google Docs for Apple computers. If you're using Linux it appears to be the same as Windows. You supposed to hit the inspector key combination while the focus is over the inspector window.
the firebug console show each ajax request, and its parameters and the response,
is it possible to get this in chrome ?
Ctrl-Shift-I will open Chrome development tools. I assume this is what you wanted.
To see Ajax requests, click on "Network" and you'll see all network requests being made. By default you see them all, although you can filter them and just see Ajax requests. Take a look at bottom part of Network tab; you'll see "Documents", "Stylesheets", etc. You want "XHR".
Yea u can have it. Enable it from the setting of chrome console.
Press ctrl + shift + I
click on setting (Gear) icon at the bottom right.
check "Log XMLHttpRequests" at the console section part.
Thats it.
Chrome developer tools will give you that and a lot more. Click on the wrench and select Tools->Developer Tools.
I believe they were open sourced by Apple - great stuff.
It's there by default click on the tool icon and under tools, can you find developingtool, which is a chrome version of firebug :)
If you want a Firebug experience within chrome for the console, use Firebug Lite extension for Chrome.
