Features & Capabilities

ChromeLogger is a Chrome extension that integrates server-side debugging directly into the Chrome DevTools Web Console by parsing messages from the X-ChromeLogger-Data and X-ChromePHP-Data headers. It activates when DevTools is open and the debugged tab reloads or navigates, restoring functionality similar to Firefox versions 43–56 when the "Server" button was toggled in the Web Console.

The extension supports configurable style options for various console methods and data types, providing a customizable debugging experience. It requires a server-side component to generate the necessary headers, acting as a reader (not a writer) of debug data. It also supports parsing data from the DOM even after headers are sent, enabling comprehensive debugging workflows. Visit the homepage for more detailed information and implementation guidance.

User Reviews

Users initially experienced errors with console method assumptions causing TypeErrors, but these were resolved in updates starting from version 1.1.1. The add-on is now praised for restoring devtools functionality and reliably logging messages, outperforming similar tools. The lack of a public issue tracker or repository was a drawback. Overall, recent updates have enhanced stability and user satisfaction.

Pros

Fixes issues with developer tools integration, effectively 'unbreaking' devtools.
Works as expected now after recent updates, with logging functioning correctly.
Improved reliability compared to other add-ons handling ChromePHP messages.
Regular updates have resolved prior errors and improved performance.

Cons

Previously had errors due to assumptions about console method handling, causing TypeErrors.
Initial versions had compatibility issues with the way logging methods were identified and executed.
Lack of a public repository made reporting issues or submitting fixes difficult.

Is ChromeLogger Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ChromeLogger requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ChromeLogger has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
