User reviews

User reviews of the Adobe Experience Platform Debugger highlight valuable improvements such as support for the WebSDK, enhanced data layer tracking tools, and visualizations for hit tracing. However, the extension suffers from frequent reliability issues including sign-in failures, connection problems, script injection breaking tag loading, and persistent console errors. The UI design, while cleaner, requires excessive scrolling with no filtering options, leading to user frustration. Performance issues like crashes and slowdowns are common. Critical features are missing or malfunctioning, causing many users to rely on older tools or browser network panels instead.

Pros

Supports Adobe Experience Platform WebSDK and provides useful data layer tracking tools.
The new visualizations for hit tracing and edge trace capabilities are very useful and appreciated.
Cleaner and improved interface/design compared to the older version.
Helpful for understanding site behavior and data flow through Adobe's servers.
Useful for loading specific libraries for testing purposes.

Cons

Frequent sign-in issues and connection problems preventing drop-down selections and proper functionality.
The extension often fails to recognize active scripts, loses connection to websites, and is unreliable.
Introduces console errors such as "Store is not ready" and "Could not establish connection", causing annoyance.
Script injection issues breaking other tags loading after it, leading to half-loaded tags and failures.
Performance problems including crashes, slowness, and causing JavaScript errors that slow down Chrome and related tools.
The UI requires excessive scrolling due to excessive detail and lack of filters, making it cumbersome and forcing users to use older tools or browser network panels.
Some features like tag management tabs are blank or fail with errors, and key functions like 'clear requests' and auto-scroll to latest hit are missing, affecting workflow efficiency.

one of the worst extensions ever made. ever.

Sign In functionality seems not to work any longer? While it's still possible to paste dev library manually in the launch configuration, I cannot choose via drop down because sign in constantly fails.

Judith Kokus, 2025-05-07

While it does serve a purpose the extension has become very unreliable. It constantly fails to recognize active scripts, loses connection to active websites and every now and then it simply forbids me to access the "Sign in" page. The UI leaves much to be desired. The most common actions require an unnecessary amount of mouse clicks, UI elements are generally too large and the way data is presented makes me feel like the extension was developed with the main purpose of torturing the user. In recent months it has also started spitting out a console error on every single page load. Leaving such a glaring annoyance untouched for so long really shows how much maintenance goes into this product.
