DevTools tricks you’ll wonder how you coded without.

I have been using browser developer tools for a long time, morely to inspect elements and to console log my code errors (I know, but it is what it is)

Recently I started messing around with browser developer tools and started exploring more and more of it, by reading docs or asking GenAI, and it is a gold mine. There are so many features and tools that I never thought existed, and they increased my productivity as a front-end developer by a good margin.

I would like to share these tricks with others, as I am pretty sure there might be a good chunk of the audience who will come across this for the first time as I did.

The features I will cover (the list might expand, but will cover it in time)

• Layers tab, to manage complex layouts
• CPU Performance Monitoring
• Overview Network tab, Lighthouse tab, and Coverage tab
• CSS Overview panel, and scroll-based fine-tuning of CSS values

P.S. Some more features I found while crafting this CFP XD.
