Extension summary

To ensure the extension functions correctly, make sure that Chrome DevTools is open before proceeding.

Inspecting elements during dynamic interactions—such as mouse movements, drag-and-drop actions, and other DOM events—can be challenging. These events often cause elements to disappear or change states, making it difficult to grab and analyze them when needed.

Debugger Timeout addresses this issue by allowing you to trigger a debugger exactly when it’s necessary. By setting a countdown timer, you can “freeze” your application for a specified duration, enabling you to inspect elements in their current state without interference from DOM events.

•	Ensure that Chrome DevTools is open before using the extension. You can do this by right-clicking on the page and selecting “Inspect,” or by using the shortcut:
