The Issues tab now categorize issues into page errors, upcoming breaking changes, and possible improvements for better severity indication. You can open the Issues tab by clicking on the issue count button in the Console.
- Page errors (red). Issues that have immediate impact for page functionality, such as not setting correct CORS headers, etc.
- Upcoming breaking changes (yellow). Issues that inform about an upcoming, incompatible change of the web platform that may result in a loss of page functionality (e.g. warning of upcoming CORS RFC 1918 changes).
- Possible improvements (blue). Potential improvements on the page, but are currently not impairing basic functionality of the page (e.g. accessibility issues)
Chromium issue: 1183241

Click on Show details to view the details on why the feature is blocked. Click on the icon next to each policy to navigate to the iframe or network request that blocked the feature.

Sources panel improvements
Support for new JavaScript features
DevTools now support the new private brand check JavaScript language feature, a.k.a #foo in obj
.
This private brand checks feature extends the in operator to support the private class fields testing on any given object.
Try it out in the Console and Sources panel. You can inspect the private fields in the Scope section under the debugger pane as well.
Chromium issue: 11374
Enhanced support for breakpoints debugging
DevTools now properly set breakpoints in multiple scripts correctly. Modern JavaScript bundlers (e.g. Webpack, Rollup) support code splitting feature - there are scenarios where one shared component can be included in multiple routes (code splits).
Previously, DevTools was only able to set breakpoints on one raw location. With this latest improvement, DevTools can set breakpoints in all relevant locations correctly.
Chromium issues: 1142705, 979000, 1180794
[]
notation
Support hover preview with DevTools now support for hover preview on JavaScript member expressions that use the []
notation in the Sources panel.
Chromium issue: 1178305
Improved outline of HTML files
DevTools now has better outline support for HTML files. In the Sources panel, open a HTML file. You can toggle the code outline with keyboard Cmd + Shift + O in Mac or Ctrl + Shift + O in Windows.
In the example below, DevTools now correctly list all functions in the outline. Previously, DevTools only showed some of the functions.
Chromium issue: 761019, 1191465
Proper error stack traces for Wasm debugging
DevTools now resolves inline function calls and shows proper error stack traces for Wasm debugging.
Previously DevTools only displayed generic Wasm references in the Error stack traces.
The old version of Chrome on the left does not show the source location (e.g. dsquare
) in the Error stack traces, whereas the new version on the right does.
Chromium issue: 1189161
