| 2024-10-16 |  | | en | Freezes and crashes my Chrome all the time on Mac |
| 2024-10-09 |  | | en | Doesn't work. Nothing shows up. |
| 2024-09-15 |  | | en | Does what it says |
| 2024-07-24 |  | | en | It's pretty basic and sometimes does quirky things, but this is an indispensable tool if you're working with OPFS, as Chrome Dev Tools doesn't currently support it natively. |
| 2024-03-08 |  | | en | sometimes it's not work and opfs menu don't showed in dev tools |
| 2023-09-20 |  | | 1. Very basic explorer that works with the tomayac test page. Seems to only support very simple listing, deleting and "downloading" of files. But not creating new files or copying files into OPFS. 2. Hangs forever on "⌛Analyzing Origin Private File System" if the page you're opening it on doesn't make use of OPFS. It would be better to show an empty filesystem instead of hanging forever. 3. Also it doesn't seem to show the OPFS files of a browser extension that is storing data in OPFS. It just hangs on "⌛Analyzing Origin Private File System" again. Apparently it's not useful for debugging browser extensions. | |
