I want to debug code at the same time as I see what is being sent on the network tab without having to go back and forth between the Network tab and Sources tab. Is there a way to do this as of chrome Version 52.0.2743.82 or Version 54.0.2810.2 canary?
I know that it is possible to log http request in the console which can be visible with other tabs open but I want the actuall networks tab if possible..
Thank you in advance
This is now possible in Chrome 87. Right click Network in the menu and select "Move to bottom"
and it will do this
You can view 'Quick source' while viewing the Network panel (or the other main panels) at the same. This will allow you to view the source and add breakpoints.
However, it's not possible to step through code using the debugging in the split view. Chrome will automatically switch to the Sources tab if you use the shortcuts.
It's also not possible to have an extension running a separate instance of the debugger as the Chrome Debugging Protocol doesn't allow simultaneous clients to be connected.
I will open up a discussion with other Chromium contributors into the feasibility of sharing the debugging controls in the split view. I don't know whether it will or can be done easily. I suspect it's a fair amount of work.
If you would like to set up the split view, as it's useful anyway, go to overflow menu on the right side and select 'More Tools' and then select 'Show console'. This makes sure the panel loads below the main one.
On the left side of the panel that shows, click the overflow menu and select 'Quick source'.
You will now see a small Sources panel.
Since I was referred here from this question, I'll answer here.
In my scenario I need to be able to work on two different source files (under DevTools->Sources) simultaneously, for instance an html and a css file.
My workaround was to work on two separate tabs.
Right click one of them and click 'Open in new tab'.
When the new tab is open press F12 to open DevTools, and dock the two editors side by side (Focus on one and pressing ⊞+→ then leftwards on the other one).
Result:

Both Chrome and Firefox provide "Network" pages in their DevTools, which are very useful. I'm working with software which adds headers to HTTP responses to communicate performance information. I would like to be able to see this information at-a-glance in the Network panel, but looking at the relevant Chrome and MDN docs, I can't see any way to modify existing DevTools panels.
Is it possible to do this? If so, how?
Both Google Chrome and Firefox allow you to modify the shown columns and to show specific header values. It seems however that only in Chrome you can also add custom headers.
To do so, open the Network tab in the Dev Tools and make sure there is at least one entry in the list. Then right click on one of the table headers (like Name, Path, Method, etc.) to open the context menu that allows you to select which columns you want to show. From this context menu go to "Response Headers" -> "Manage Header Columns...". Then in the modal that pops up click "Add custom header..." and enter the name of the header you want to show. Click "Add" and it should now be part of the overview table.
In Firefox it works the same, but you can only select one of the predefined headers.
Each Time I'm using this console I'm struggeling with my mouse to click on the editable line.
So two question :
Is there a way of enlarging this line so it easier to click on it ?
Is there a command to navigate to it ?
The only way to enlarge it is to create a custom theme for DevTools, enable the experiment for using custom themes, and then installing your extension. That way you can get custom CSS into the top-level DevTools scope to modify things.
You may open a bug report on the chromium issue tracker against the DevTools so the team can assess the UX to see if there is anything they should modify internally.
I'm trying to view the emulation panel but I can't find it anywhere. Everywhere I've looked it says to open an overrides panel to find it but that's missing too. I also can't find any helpful or new answers to my question. Pressing esc only opens up console and there's nothing in settings that seems to help. Can someone please tell me how to reach it?
Instead of emulation in the drawer Device Mode is now offered for emulating other devices. It provides many benefits over the old emulation mode, such as taking into account the meta viewport tag on render. So what you see is much closer to what you'd get in real life.
I'm using 51.0.2704.103 (64-bit) on a Mac.
Cmd-Opt-i to open console.
Click the button with three vertical dots and the very top right of the Developer Tools window.
Select: more tools > sensors:
If the console draw is not already open it will open. Either way there should now be a sensors tab next to the console tab on the console draw. Click this tab and follow your nose from there.
Note that this tab had an x by it. Hitting this will hide the sensors tab and next time you use it you will need to follow the steps above again to reinstate it.
How to get a warning massage if i accidently click the close button of the chrome browser which have multiple tabs opened at that time?
I am a regular user of Crome and having this problem while using it. I normally open multiple tabs inside a single browser but sometimes i accidently click the close button of browser and as soon as the button is clicked crome does't give any warning issue about multiple active tabs and close the entire window.
Is the end user like me is browsing on normal crome window then he can open the websites again by checking the web history but if he is browsing inside private browser then he can't do anything(this happens with me very regularly because i normally browse in private browser). On the other hand if you accidently click the close button in mozilla which have multiple tabs open it throws a warning massage to the user and asks for his wish.
Go find an extension called "Keep One Pinned Tab". It may not be exactly the function you need, but if you search for other extensions, I am sure there is such an extension that does just that. If you can't find one, I suggest to learn how to develop extensions and make one yourself, you can share it with others when it's done.
I have a rogue blank <div> getting inserted from somewhere in my code, and it is difficult to find when it is coming in. I am using debugger; and stepping through the code, however, the step function is in the 'Sources' tab of chrome dev tools, and the 'Elements' tab has the view I need. I have two screens, and have the dev tools on one screen and the page on the other, but I need to see when the div is coming through on the HTML as I step through the code, and it is quite cumbersome to switch tabs after each click.
Is there any way to accomplish this view to troubleshoot faster (maybe a second instance of dev tools? or split the tabs?), or another suggestion? Since I don't know how it is getting generated, I can't color the div and just look for the color to come on screen...
It is still not possible to display the elements and source tabs at the same time on chrome dev tools. (Latest Chrome version: v64).
If some element is inserted to your DOM and you want to find code responsible for adding it then I suggest using more appropriate tool than debugger;. Check out "subtree modifications":
You can now right click the view tab and select "Move to bottom" so you can see both element and sources at the
Now its possible to view the element and page source in the same page.
Follow the steps below:
Open debugger or Ctrl+Shift+C
From Right corner press the "customize and control Dev tools" icon, under those option click show console drawer:
Now from the left bottom, click on the quick source option as shown in picture:
All the js files opened in sources will be seen here:
