It is very useful for front end developers to test JavaScript code

DevTools given flexibility to check API response time(load time)

It is used to check DOM element structure and we can change element structure for testing purposes.

Is used to test and modify the CSS of Page elements

Chrome DevTools need to provide options to download application performance reports

They need to provide some type of editor for developers to write code on the fly.

They need to give security information in the console to developers

Compared to other tools, Chrome DevTools are very useful but if they provide more options like code editors, that will be helpful.

Page load time graph, detailing the required load time for each component.

Analysis of sent and return content

Security reporting of in-memory components such as secure cookies and cached data.

PWA configuration validation

A resource to work with secure HTTPS content, decrypting the traffic data, as a sniffer would.

An online editor for page elements is very useful, but it should always be used with a large monitor, above 15".

Exporting or printing the analysis reports would be very helpful

Running JavaScript on the fly is possible via the console.

Method for determining where a network is slowing down.

Take a look at how a page is structured by using the DOM in Inspect.

High demands on both RAM and processing power.

The steepness of the learning curve.

The Chrome DevTool needs to provide an editing panel in addition to the console. Creating functions that span many lines would be helpful.

Identify code

Previews on different devices

Performance of webpage

There should be a "Chrome DevTools for non-developers" course - sometimes the documentation is very technical.

responsive

Genrate report

Use Console

Show Website Elements

Select element

Generate report

Security info

Provides tools for observing network and application performance, and way to simulate varying network speeds.

The console can be used for ad-hoc JavaScript running.

Performance analysis tool for finding network bottlenecks.

Inspect tool to view the DOM structure of the webpage.

Emulator for different screens (mobile , iPad, etc).

High memory and CPU usage at times

Learning curve is a bit steep

Apart from the console, the Chrome dev tool should provide a panel with the editor. It would be useful to write multi-line functions.

No other complaints. Pretty much comprehensive set of tools

Show current html DOM objects

Display CSS properties in an accurate way

Emulate mobile devices

Limited customasation

Google tracking

High memory and CPU usage

The "inspect" tool is very convenient. It can show the DOM structure interactively.

The performance analysis tool is very comprehensive. Easy to spot bottleneck.

The console is very handy for ad-hoc JavaScript running.

In the "Element" section, when mouse-over an element, the corresponding part in the web will be highlighted. It is sometimes annoying as the mouse moves around.

DevTools gives you a console for writing javascript code to interact with or change the behavior of the page you are currently working. This is particularly useful when debugging code.

CSS edits. The ability to change the style of dom elements and see the effect those changes have in real time without having to switch to your editor, make the changes, and reload the browser window saves a lot of time.

Providing a way to set javascript break points so you can see the runtime values of a variable.

The network tab is also a life saver for inspecting what assets are being loaded on the page and in what order they load, how long they take to load etc...

It would be nice in the elements panel, if clicking on a node scrolled the screen to that node. On some large pages its easy to get lost in the code and not know where the element you're inspecting resides on the screen.

It would be nice if, in addition to the console, there was a panel that behaved more like an editor instead of a command prompt. It may seem trivial but it would be very helpful when writing multi-line functions.

It's very easy to see the source code and to debug JavaScript code with Chrome DevTools.

If you want to play with styles and CSS, you can do that on the fly.

Network tab provides detailed information about the http requests.

I don't have any complaints

Inspect front-end code.

Find and debug issues.

Apply changes in the browser for testing.

Test responsive designs at various device resolutions.

Test page speed and performance.

Test various network situations (e.g. low/no internet connection).

Improved screenshot support.

Quicker access to common testing settings (e.g. disabling JavaScript).

Improved CSS tools.

Being integrated with the browser, DevTools lets me access elements of the loaded page easily and directly. I can see what my page looks like in the browser while I fiddle with various parameters directly in the page through DevTools.

DevTools lets me identify all of the artifacts that are loaded by the current page (images, scripts, media, etc.). I can easily determine if some third party package is getting in the way of my own content loading correctly.

DevTools gives me direct access to the JavaScript console so I can run JS methods directly. This lets me visibly see how certain interactions can look and feel to the user.

The Network tab gives me visibility into what the page is doing "behind the scenes". This is very helpful when working with dynamic content as I can see where and how things are loaded.

While Chrome DevTools has a good REST sniffer, allowing me to see REST requests that my web app is making, it does not provide a general interface for constructing REST requests. I would like to see some functionality similar to Postman integrated with DevTools.

While the Security tab allows visibility of the certificate associated with the site itself, it could present more information about the certificate and protocols in use. I would like to see full details of the entire certificate chain.

Some items (such as Network conditions, Sensors, etc.) in the More Tools menu could be expanded upon.

I would like to be able to connect to some external tools. It would be nice, for example, to be able to easily see traceroute (or mtr) output directly in the interface. I realize that some of these capabilities require elevated privileges, but that could probably be worked around be forking off a terminal instance to run the tool with Sudo or something similar.

The selection widget is particularly handy--I can quickly and easily see how an element on a page fits in the page's structure

Being able to edit CSS rules on the fly is great--that way I can see what's actually going to happen.

It's also nice to be able to poke around in the Computed tab and see how an element's box model attributes are currently assigned and what will happen if I adjust, for example, the padding.

I really miss Firebug's box model tools, which worked a bit more intuitively.

The Console is handy, but can be hard to work with.

I really wish there were a few more tools for outlining block elements and a color picker.

Provides clear, easy to understand, and actionable intelligence on how the browser is retrieving, parsing and rendering the page.

Covers a wide gamut of front-end development tasks, from manipulating CSS rules to line-by-line debugging of JavaScript to helpful page and server insights.

Continuously incorporates new tools and helpful features. With nearly every major Chrome release there is a "What's new" update with at least one or two useful items.

As one delves into DevTools, one encounters a gradually steeper learning curve. You can do a lot very quickly, but to fully utilize DevTools takes time as one explores what it can do.

With many new updates, tools and items are moved, and a comfortable workflow becomes a frustrating search. This often happens when following only slightly outdated tutorials on a given feature, even in Google's own documentation.

The experimental flags, settings, and options are scattered about and a little clunky to configure when one has to make changes in multiple places.

Excellent DOM inspection tool that gives you important insights into your styles and element behavior, and allows you to make changes in-line that can show you what impact they will have if applied to your code.

Outstanding tools for observing network and application performance, including throttling to simulate varying network speeds.

A fantastic device emulator that allows you to view how your pages and application views will appear when viewed on a wide array of mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.

Debugging tools that give you the power to insert breakpoints to pause code execution and view the value of your code variables.

It could really use an easier way to separate the kind of errors being logged to the console, such as network, security and CSS errors. This becomes a more acute problem when you consider that Firefox does have this feature.

Unlike the Firefox and Edge dev tools, it forces you to click into a line item for network request in order to view the details of that request.

Its performance measuring tool could stand to catch up to that of Microsoft Edge, which currently displays visualizations that are a bit easier to review.

First is the Debugging capabilities of Chrome DevTool i.e. very impressive you can set the break points where you think error might exist or you can simply go step by step until you encounter the issue.

Second the capability of simulating mobile devices with device mode in Chrome DevTools - It is also great feature in which one can see where the network is throttling one can check for responsiveness of the view port on the mobile device.

To analyse network performance - Generally it is a great feature to have because it lets us know which file it may be and if it's JS or CSS that is taking time to load or taking more resources then one can focus on them to make it light weight.

As of now I don't have any issue with Chrome DevTool, it is best and improving day by day but if they can they should improve the interface so that switching between different tabs becomes easy.

It includes a powerful Javascript console to interact to the website to test JS code, add new code, for modifying existing values or functions, etc. You can control all the JS code in the website from there.

It has a great tool to check a site's assets loading, to see any loading errors, missing resources, redirections, etc.

Their CSS editor is great to add new rules, update existing rules, etc. I like how you can see all applied changes in the website without refreshing the browser.

I think the layout is too complex, it should be simpler and easy to use for an average developer.

I would like more tools for CSS oriented development like Grid Helpers, Flux containers, CSS animations, etc.

I would like a better tool for errors, like telling me what to do if I find a JS problem, CSS problem or a wrong redirection.

While designing or editing a webpage Chrome DevTools lets you easily make changes to your HTML/CSS and immediately show the result in your Chrome browser.

In the console, Chrome DevTools, shows errors inside your page.

You can use the console of Chrome DevTools to send Javascript messages, this is a handy tool to try out Javascript functions or to debug.

The timeline in Chrome DevTools can be used for optimizing the speed of your website.

There are many functions and this might be hard for starters.

User interface could be improved
