Summary

Three significant updates to Chrome's Replay feature have been announced, including Chromium 108, the Elements Panel, and experimental React DevTools support. Replay Chromium, still in beta for Linux, has been upgraded to M108, with plans for regular rebases to keep up with the latest Chromium developments. The Elements Panel now allows users to inspect elements and view their styles and properties in Replay's DOM and CSS APIs. React DevTools, while traditionally resource-intensive, has been optimized for a 30% speed increase in recording times by leveraging Replay’s Analysis APIs. Additional updates include experimental video downloads for sharing, a resizable layout for DevTools, the ability to toggle print statements in the console, and the new option to copy object property values to the clipboard, potentially foreshadowing similar features in Chrome DevTools.
