To test web applications and for front-end web development. It enables us to test, understand what the application will look like on devices, and debug. As it's already built into the Chrome browser, it's readily available and easy to use to enhance the performance of any website.

As most internet users today use Google Chrome, their DevTools are essential when building or supporting a web application. As a member of an application support team, I use it every day to check any issue on our platform. It helps me to identify and quickly correct, or send the issue to a developer to correct it.

Currently, use Google Chrome DevTools to test how content looks on various devices and platforms. This enables us to create images/crops to ensure they are optimized for user devices, and avoid scenarios where the content is cut off or isn't cropped properly -- ensuring our brand image remains premium.

Chrome Dev Tools help me debug my websites, find css classes to change styles on my development websites, and also use it to test various different view ports , device or what the website looks like on certain mobiles. It also has the Lighthouse functionality which aids in my SEO activities and determining the performance of the website such as how the page assets load and page load speeds

When developing websites, I use a lot the network tab and JS debugging The masterpiece is the possibility to change CSS live to adjust the rendering I recently use webauthn to debug SSO implementation Chrome DevTools is also powerful to optimize the existing sites to gain reliability and simplicity The DOM exploration can be really difficult manually and this is just the only way to get into it

The Chrome DevTools is very useful for debugging front-end projects. In this, we have a lot of options to check application performance. We can see the cookie and stored values. We can see network call status and response in the network tab. We can run the javascript in the console of the developer tool. We can set breakpoints or debugger points to check errors in the script. We can see all HTML element structure in the Elements tab. We can test the performance of the application using the performance insights tool. We recently used this tool to check application timeout using the console tab.

Very useful for debugging and troubleshooting web pages. We also use it to measure component loading performance and visualization tests at different resolutions. We recently used this tool to identify timeout errors in the ajax request of a component on the page, which was derived from the security rules applied in Application Gateway in the Cloud, and adjust the parameters

The Chrome DevTools are a complete set of resources for creating websites and online applications. To help developers create better, quicker, and more responsive websites, Google has integrated a development tool straight into the Chrome browser. We use a wide variety of frontend technology stacks for our websites, from the relatively dated to the cutting edge. Chrome's DevTools are used to ensure webpages are compatible with older browsers.

I use Chrome DevTools inspector almost every day to source code, or to see how a website looks on mobile. I also use Page Speed Insights on a very regular basis to check site performance and improve scores. In WordPress, I also use a plug-in to use speed insights to check page speed scores within WordPress itself. I only scratch the surface of Chrome DevTools and honestly couldn't work without them. They are completely indispensable to my workflow.

Chrome Developer Tools is a comprehensive toolkit for developers which helps them in developing web apps. Dev tool is built directly into the Chrome browser and lets the developer edit web pages in real-time, debug problems quickly, and build better, faster, and more responsive websites. Our websites are a mix of older and newer frontend technology stacks. Chrome dev tools are used by the developers for testing the websites for backward compatibility. For mobile app development also the emulators are handy. Developers use it to identify where resources are loading from, performance, and configuration issues. We also use it to interact directly with the JavaScript console.

Overall it is an excellent tool for frontend web developers.

Used to detect and find root cause of html/css issues as well as javascript debugging when there are unexpected results in a specific scenario. Chrome DevTools helps to see the stack trace at any execution point in scripting language.

Chrome DevTools is being used by a few development departments in the organization. In our team, we used it for a few purposes:
1. To examine the DOM of a web app.
2. Aid development of web apps: check the API requests and response.
3. Performance analysis: use the performance tool to analyze the bottleneck of the app.

I use Chrome DevTools every day in my current position. It's great for testing my javascript, writing experimental in the console, testing various CSS changes, and occasionally making live edits to local javascript source files. It is being used by the developers in my department who write front-end code. Chrome tools provide us as developers a way to test code and make changes without having to edit the original source code.

We use Chrome DevTools for front-end development and debugging. Everyone on my team uses it, and I would suspect others in my department use it as well, probably anyone using Chrome as their main browser. The DevTools allow us to inspect our sites and find problems with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

All of the full stack developers use Dev Tools in Chrome for identifying and diagnosing weird problems with the web sites. We use it to identify where resources are loading from, track down configuration issues, and interpret the performance of loading pages. We also use it to interact directly with the JavaScript console.

I used Chrome DevTools pretty regularly to sneak a look at the code of a webpage, either to do web development, or more likely nowadays, because I'm doing some data analysis and need to figure out how to scrape the data off the page and into R. Because it's baked right into Chrome, my regular browser, it's only ever a quick whack of F12 away.

Our entire web development team uses Chrome DevTools on a daily basis. It complements similar tools by other major browsers but is the go-to tool of choice for looking under the front-end hood of a website under development. In the hands of a knowledgeable user, DevTools opens the door to a wealth of helpful information, debugging tools, and even skill-building.

Web application testing and troubleshooting are one of the most time-consuming areas of a software engineer's tasks and the availability of reliable and comprehensive tools to facilitate this important job is critical. Chrome DevTools is an important tool in any developer's arsenal and it has been one of my long-time go-tos for this purpose. DevTools can reveal important information to you about errors your code is throwing, the state of your document model (the elements of your web page and how they are laid out) and the factors that are affecting the performance of your application. In my organization, we use Chrome DevTools across our engineering team to troubleshoot and test all of our front-end application code.

As our Company has many departments, Chrome DevTools are only being used by the web development teams. We have lot of development teams for different projects we generally use Chrome DevTools for debugging, better analysis of code or when we get stuck somewhere. As per the business problems it let us fix different JavaScript issues and suggests how to optimise the code that is running on the PCs as well as mobile phones.

It's being used for testing web applications and any work; it's also used to find Chrome only issues. It's used to check how HTML content loads, if all Javascript is being executed, and for finding any media problems, CSS development, etc. All related to web development.
