Hi! I made a Chrome extension that highlights creeps from the Epstein emails. Depending on how much news you read on your computer, enabling it might be really depressing.

Would multi-session support for the Chrome DevTools MCP server be useful for you? 🤖✖️🌍 Chime into the discussion on GitHub: github.com/ChromeDevToo.... Let us know what you think, and tell use about your potential use cases or how you go about them today!
Chrome launched an early preview of WebMCP, and we're looking for feedback on use-cases, API shape, & more! 🚀
WebMCP bridges the gap between AI agents and your website, increasing the performance and reliability of agent interactions.

Token usage in LLM applications is a huge topic. It dictates response speed, cost efficiency - or the quota left on your plan 😄 🪫 Learn how the Chrome DevTools team squeezed a full Performance trace into Gemini in DevTools developer.chrome.com/blog/designi...
If you’re using server-side AI models, you usually need an API key to call them. A couple of weeks back I made a video looking at how to handle that in a Chrome extension: youtu.be/pl4pz4nWa3w
We just shipped an update to the Chrome DevTools MCP server (and Chrome) that I'm really excited about: the ability to connect directly to a running Chrome instance: developer.chrome.com/blog/chrome-...

baseline status now inline on hover for css properties
New in Chrome DevTools: Instantly check CSS feature compatibility with Baseline!
Chrome DevTools now displays the Baseline status for CSS properties right in the Elements panel - Baseline gives you clear info about which web features are ready to use today.
I know some people in the web community are concerned that Baseline will discourage devs from using new features—or anything not "Widely Available".
Personally, I'm not worried about that at all. If anything, I think Baseline will speed up new feature adoption!
Here's why 🧵
WarnWetter from Deutscher Wetterdienst. It’s paid, but worth the money imo. They’ve been forced to offer a paid version as they’re state funded and otherwise would’ve been an unfair competition… (this also gives me confidence that tracking is less of a problem).

Live metrics screen from the Chrome DevTools Performance panel.
Live Metrics screen feedback request!
It's been about 6 months since we launched the Live Metrics screen in Chrome DevTools so a good time to step back and ask for any feedback on it.
Do you use it? What's good about it? What could be improved about it?
New video! In this one I show you how to build a whack-a-mole extension, featuring a cameo from @samdutton.bsky.social among others!
