The debugger snippet is very cool and I will definitely be using it!

[FishTalkFish]

Favorite video yet! Thank you Jecelyn and the greater Chrome team!

and once again, i really wish developer tools had a big giant "freeze everything" button (and keyboard shortcut) that immediately stops any CSS hover etc, any JS processing, and just freezes the entire page in its current state. a big handbrake/time-stopping ability that makes it completely static...

By far the most informative channel on YouTube for devs that takes less than 20 min. for a video❤

[sneaky-Jay]

This is so helpful, thank you for sharing

[ThomasKowalski]

Very useful tips Thx, Jecelyn and team

When I need to deal with disappearing elements I just right-click to the element to clone it.
These methods shown in the videos is a lot better 😅

Why not just use "pause script execution" (F8 or Ctrl+ \)?

It's even simpler than example with debugger statement

[mohammedramadan]

I used to use :hover, edit HTML and CSS classes and DOM break points :D

this is so awesome. All are very great.

The sinppt feature will be helpful. Can have custom function parse JSON 🤓

Funny enough, I knew about the DOM break points but I've never thought of using them

[Zolbat]

The DOM breakpoints are super useful, I'll include them into my workflow!
At 4:20 instead of setTimout can't you just press F8? Or are such 'power user features' not available on Macs? Perhaps there's a paid app to emulate the feature

[mayankrockss]

I use to keep the focus in developer option, and hover on the rendered element in page to show tooltip, then press f8 to enter debugger mode and freeze the tooltip.

Which is the best for loading elements? I’m until understanding for this behavior :( tks
