The only way to debug webgl. Can't imagine learning without it. Also helpful while debugging opengl code compiled to wasm. Can't believe google is going to delete it from store
I learned a lot thanks this extension. Sadly it is no longer supported because of new Chrome policies.
Can we do something to help?
