Chrome Dev tools stuck at retrieving timeline - google-chrome

I am not sure what the problem is here, but I am unable to record timeline in chrome devtool. I click on the start recording icon, and when I stop it, it just keeps saying retrieving timeline.
Chrome Version: 50.0.2661.102 (64-bit)
Operating System: OSX
I tried incognito and also deleted all my /Application Support/Google/Chrome files. Nothing worked.

Just reload it! If you are on a windows/apple computer then press f5. If you are on a chromebook press f3 (or the reload looking button) or You can look on the top left and press the reload button it.
I hope this works for you

Chrome: page loading is slow until DevTools(F12) shows

My env: Chrome 96.0.4664.110 (Official Build) (64-bit) on windows 10
When I open a link in a new page, the page loading is very slow. I can see the loading icon is running but the page keeps blank for a long time(10 seconds or more).
But when I press F12 to show the DevTools window, the page content loads immediately.
So what is the problem, and how to fix it? Many thanks
Same problem for me, finally I realised that it was activated Throttling under the Network tab, and it was selected "Slow 3G" mode, don't know how it has been activated. As you can see there is an alert icon with the Network tab name

PWA debug chrome "add to homescreen" button not doing anything

I am trying to add the "add to Homescreen" prompt function to my website. Now I've read the google developer articles and I have everything set up.
Now, If I try to manually add my page to the homescreen with the button "Add to homecreen" in the Chrome devtools > Application > Manifest , nothing is happening. A few times the console showed an error, but after fixing it nothing happens. I don't get the Add to shelf banner, but I don't get an error displayed in the console. Lighthouse doesn't show any error either. In fact, lighthouse shows a score of 92 in pwa.
Is this now meaning that everything is working? Is there an other debug function I've overseen?
Edit: If I press the button and than reload the page, after I press reload and the page is acctually loaded, the console displays:
Site cannot be installed: the page has requested the banner prompt be cancelled
I was having this same issue: Chrome Dev Tools Add to Homescreen was not working on ANY PWA. After days struggling trying to figure out where the problem was I finally found that Chrome main menu has an option to install the app, and that option is working fine. So you don't need to use Chrome Dev Tools option.
If you are testing in localhost, try http://localhost instead of 127.0.0.1.
I don't know why, but I have the same issue when using 127.0.0.1.
After changing to localhost, it works correctly.

Chrome tabs auto refreshing everytime on desktop

The chrome tabs auto refreshes every time when I go to the tab and its turning out to be really annoying. Any fix?
I was able to resolve this inside Chrome Version 48.0 (Running on Windows 7) by performing the following steps.
1.) Open the Chrome browser and navigate to chrome://flags
2.) Search on the page for "Enable tab discarding"
3.) Set this flag to "Disabled"
4.) Restart Chrome.
Chrome will do that when you are low on memory. If you have a lot of programs open, try closing some of them out.

Chrome console (F12) doesn't show up

Suddenly my Chrome console can't show up any more. I even tried to uninstall and install Chrome, but nothing helps.
Look how it looks without the console:
And this is how it looks when I press F12 to open the console (the same thing if I try to open it via the menu) notice that it pushes the content aside with blankspace and there isn't any console at all!:
F Lock also disables this functionality. Please toggle the F lock state and check.
I suggest you to try this:
Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Rename the folder "Default" to "Backup" or something else
Launch Chrome (it will recreate the Default folder with a blank user profile)
If you don't have any problem after doing this, your user profile is corrupted. When you uninstall Chrome, your user profile is kept, this is why the problem was still here after reinstalling.
If your F12 press alone doesn't open the devtools in the browser then press and hold Fn and then press Esc. It's done!!
Now you will be able to open devtool just by pressing F12.
I had a similar problem. In my case, it was the TrackIR software intercepting F12. So if you have TrackIR, check it is not running.
I just stumbled upon this and fixed it by turning off all extensions, and then turning them back on one by one. It turns out in my case the screen reader extension "Chrome Vox" caused the issue.

How can I get Aptana to work with Google Chrome?

Is there a way for me to get Google Chrome to launch in Aptana?
I tried adding it under Web Browsers but when launching the webpage, from Aptana, it launches it in Firefox instead.
Selecting Default system browser doesn't work either.
How I would do it is where the green > button is, at the top (next to debug), go into run configuration and add a new entry for google chrome.
The path for chromes exe is at (Win7)
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
WinXP
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application\chrome.exe
Then you can run that straight from the drop down menu. This is the way I do it, however it may not be applicable for your situation.
I added Chrome to the Run Configurations ...
I deleted Firefox from the General > Web Browser settings.
I restarted Aptana Studio 3 and now, when I click on the green arrow run button, Chrome is the browser.
Say hello to F12 and debugging HTML and JavaScript with ease.
I have Windows 7 and followed the advice listed above for the 'green button'. For Chrome, my file path was "C:\Users\user name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe". It was very simple and worked beautifully. Thank you.
rickyduck's answer applies but the path to Chrome may have changed in newer versions to :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
That's the path I had to use.
rickyduck's answer is exactly what I have been looking for! Thanks Ricky!
To get the exact path to chrome on your machine, just go to your start menu, type in chrome and when it comes up, right click on it and select the Shortcut tab to copy the target path and paste right into Aptana.
Another way to directly launch chrome upon pressing green button is to delete other browsers from run -> run configuration -> web browser . . . and leave chrome alone . . if you want other browsers you can add later on . .
You can add as many browsers as you want. Click on Run -> Run Configurations then right-click on Web Browser in the left nav pane, then select New. Use the Browse button to get the application path then at the top of the dialog, type in a descriptive name. Click Apply and Close. You now have more than one browser to choose from for testing.
I added Chrome to run configurations, and deleted Firefox and IE, also changed likewise under General Web Browsers. The Chrome tab doesn't show up on Green dropdown. If I exit program and restart, the Firefox and IE are back again, but still now Chrome.
Click the tiny black arrow thats looks at the bottom and is located at the top, next to the green Run button:
Choose Run Configurations and then you should see a Browser executable field, under the Web Browser tab:
where you want to click Browse, navigate to the Google Chrome executable (at my Max OS X at El capitan: Applications -> Google Chrome) and double click on it.
Then, click Apply (in the Run Configurations window). Then Run.
That's it! :)
Tested with Aptana Studio 3, installed like this on Mac.
