Pause Debugger: Freeze and Inspect Web Pages Easily

Pause Debugger is a free Chrome extension developed by turigeza. It falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools. This handy tool allows users to freeze web pages for inspection in the developer tools, particularly useful for elements that don’t stay around for long.

Sometimes, there are elements on a web page that require quick inspection or attention, such as drop-down menus or autocompletes. With Pause Debugger, users can easily pause the debugger with a specified timeout or by using a keyboard shortcut. This eliminates the need to manually type in the console to create a timeout with a debugger statement.

It’s important to note that Pause Debugger assumes that the Developer Tools are already open for it to work effectively. The keyboard shortcut to activate the extension is Ctrl+Shift+Down for PC users and Command+Shift+Down for Mac users.

With Pause Debugger, web developers and enthusiasts can easily freeze web pages and inspect elements that require quick attention, making it a valuable addition to any developer’s toolkit.
