Summary

Web developers often utilize the basic features of Chrome Developer Tools, such as the DOM inspector and JavaScript console, but there are several advanced tools that can enhance debugging and workflow efficiency. The selection mode allows users to easily select and inspect elements on a page, while new animation tools enable the control and inspection of animation properties. Additionally, the CSS animation controller and element state simulator help developers fine-tune animations and simulate pseudo states like hover or active. The prettify feature in the "Sources" tab assists in making minified CSS and JavaScript code more readable. For production debugging, LogRocket offers a solution by recording front-end logs and recreating user sessions, allowing developers to replay issues and understand errors without needing direct user input. This tool supports various frameworks and provides detailed insight into app performance and behavior.
