Reflections of my thoughts….

Today morning I upgraded to the latest version of Chrome. It’s not giving an update notification like Mozilla. That’s really bad. I know it only when a guy commented for my previous post on Chrome bugs. He was talking, that the “:%” issue with Chrome has been fixed with the latest version. Anyway it’s nice if we get an auto update notification of Chrome.

BTW, that’s not my topic right now. I was talking about the some nifty tools for the developers. I’m not a web developer. So don’t know much details about script debugging and all. Anyway few things are there.

Task Manager

If you press (Shift+Esc) or right click on the Chrome window in task bar, you can see an option in the menu “Task Manager” (you can also navigate with the page button next to address bar and take it from Developer->Task Manager. The task bar contains the the list of Chrome tabs and Chrome application windows currently running in the system. Ironically you can’t do anything with the task manager than killing any of the Chrome Tabs or Windows(event you can’t sort it without).

Stats of Nerds

The window also provides a like “Stats for nerds” which give detailed information on the currently running tabs in a new browser window. The great thing about “About:memory” is that it’s able to display the usage summary of other browsers as well. See it in the below picture

JavaScript Debugger

Chrome provides a console JavaScript Debugger. You can debug your JavaScripts of an associated tab.

JavaScript Console

Google also provides a Java Script console with Chrome.
