Debug your user's browser remotely via Chrome DevTools.

DevTools Remote enables you to share access to a browser tab, so it can be debugged remotely via Chrome DevTools.

How does it work?

  1. A simple gateway that acts like a proxy between Chrome and Chrome DevTools.
  2. The user needs to install a little extension to allow access to Chrome debugger, and to connect to the gateway.
  3. A unique link is generated that connects the browser and DevTools over a WebSocket connection.

Security

NOTICE: This project is highly experimental, and shouldn't be used in ANY production-like environment, as there's little security provided by a uniquely generated session. This session can in theory be guessed, and therefore allow a third party to tag along.
