Summary

After two months of development, the team has launched the Network Monitor for Chromium, enhancing the debugging experience by placing it next to the Console in Chromium replays. Recording these replays has also become faster, with a current median overhead of 27%, aiming for less than 20%. Chromium is essential for recording and replaying Playwright and Cypress tests. The team is working on a new project, "runtime as a db," to store in-memory execution indexes, which should allow users to open and debug replays in under ten seconds without additional compute time. Additionally, they have replaced the text editor CodeMirror with a React-based component for the Replay DevTools, leading to a more efficient source viewer experience. This update can be tested by enabling the new source viewer in the experimental settings.
