## Description

The USB Debugging Chrome extension streamlines access to your device's Developer Options by automatically displaying these settings when you connect or disconnect your device via USB. Traditionally, accessing Developer Options requires navigating through Settings, but this extension eliminates that hassle. It enables you to quickly enable or disable necessary developer settings conveniently.

Additionally, it offers customization on when Developer Options appear — whether on USB connection, disconnection, or both — giving you full control over your development setup. For Xiaomi users, make sure to allow Autostart permission to enable this feature seamlessly. This tool enhances productivity and simplifies the debugging process for developers and tech enthusiasts alike.
