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 to enable autosave on snippets in chrome dev tools?
It is infuriating when i accidentaly close a tab that dev tools was attached to where i had my snippets open and when i open dev tools again i've lost alot of work!
Are there any flags i can set to enable autosave or somehow get it to save when i run the snippet?
Just to be clear i am talking about the snippets under Sources/Snippets.
I know i can "just" use the shortcut ctrl-s to save however that is simply not good enough, i would atleast expect a recovery like all modern editors deliver.
Incase this cannot be achieved please point me the in direction where i can submit a feature request to the Chrome Dev Team
Select Tools > Developer Tools. The Developer Tools window opens as a docked panel at the side or bottom of Google Chrome. Click the Network tab. Select Preserve log.
Also, go to Settings in devtools, which is a little screw on the top-right corner, find the Console section under Preferences, and click on Preserve log upon navigation.
This has worked for me.
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
Is there a way to disable inspect element, right click and F12 in google chrome?
This is definitely not possible to do from a web page.
Even if you disable right click and disable the default behaviors for F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, and Ctrl+Shift+J, there is no way to stop a user from opening Dev Tools on a different page and navigating to your page with Dev Tools already open.
Also, you can access Dev Tools by going to Menu > Tools > Developer tools, which cannot be prevented by any website.
You can run chromium in a java environment. This I have seen, then its impossible to open developer tools, and settings etc are not accessable. But of course it would involve a lot more work and development time.
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
I am fairly new to writing code, but I played around with some chrome apps which use WebSQL for DB. I decided to learn IndexedDB, but needed something more visual, to help me out. WebSQL database entries can be easily seen in in resources tab in "debugger", but indexedDB database is not shown there.
Chrome is v17, OS Ubuntu 11.10
Is there a workaround for this( plugin or anything else) ?
If you use Chromium or the dev channel of Chrome you can enable an experimental Dev Tools feature to surface IndexedDB in the Resources panel.

In chrome, click on developer tools or use ctr+shift+I
Click on the application menu
Right click on IndexDB
Click Refresh IndexDB
Then you will see your database content.
The accepted answer is 10 years old, mentioning experimental DevTools. So, I decided to rewrite answer.
In Chrome, press F12 or click application menu > More Tools > Developer Tools to open Chrome Developer tools.
Go to Application tab.
On the menu left, expand IndexedDb under Storage section and you will see your IndexedDb content.
