It’s Friday and thus time for a new issue of Browsers and Bugs. Hello and Welcome to number 10. Happy debugging!
Browsers, Bugs and Workarounds #

Debugging, Testing and more #
Dev Consoles Considered Harmful (…for learning) by Kyle Simpson #
The dev console in browsers is great, but it’s particularly harmful to the purposes of accurately learning JS. We need a new real-JavaScript-REPL tool, and it needs to land in a browser soon.
Animation Timeline [Video] #
Will be available soon in Chrome DevTools.
Firefox DevTools #
Developers can now inspect/debug any Firefox Popup.
Chrome Devtools Experiments #
To try out the experiments open chrome://flags -> Enable Developer Tools experiments and click “Relaunch Now” at the bottom. After restart, open Devtools, go to settings and have a look at the Experiments Tab. If you want to see all experiments, press Shift 6 times (yes 6, not 7 to activate Developer Options on Android :-)) while the experiments tab is open.
DOMListener #
A Chrome DevTools Extension to monitor, browse and filter all DOM changes.
