2023-09-21 | En Chrome linux, especificamente en distros basadas en .deb esta extension falla, se queda trabada y es incapaz de construir el arbol de componentes | ||
2023-09-13 | 稍大点的项目就能卡死,还是 M1 Pro 上,想象不到设备性能差的选手用这东西多痛苦 | ||
2023-09-11 | Does not work with Jetbrains IDEs | ||
2023-09-01 | No esta funcionando aún la extensión, en algún momento lo hará? | ||
2023-08-27 | I always have to uninstall and reinstall the extension every week. | ||
2023-08-26 | Full of errors especially slow loading/never loading and this: Loading React Element Tree... If this seems stuck, please follow the troubleshooting instructions. | ||
2023-07-31 | This tool has become so buggy in the last ~4 months that it's almost unusable. I've resorted to uninstalling and reinstalling weekly to resolve issues -- when it breaks (which happens completely randomly btw), it's totally broken... no workarounds. | ||
2023-06-28 | Really buggy lately. It slows me down considerably. Stops working randomly. Today I encountered yet another bug and it just shows nothing. | ||
2023-06-09 | Not working for React 18 | ||

2023-04-11 | Antes funcionaba super bien, ahora ya no aparece | ||
2023-04-11 | Cannot use on Dev page defeats all purpose Like it | ||
2023-04-09 | after intalling the extension i am facing this error ...This page doesn’t appear to be using React. If this seems wrong, follow the troubleshooting instructions. what should i do next? | ||
2023-04-05 | No me aparece | ||
2023-03-29 | From last two days I am facing an error of Dev tools failed in chorom. I have tried reinstalling this extension but still the issue didn't resolved. | ||
2023-03-27 | It can be flakey sometimes but if you reload the page or recompile your project it fixes itself. It's very handy! If you build in react then this is a MUST! | ||
2023-03-16 | It's useless.. it's freezing every time with "timed out" errors, it doesn't provide useful information, seeing things like "state... state.. state.. Effect: f().. .Callback.." does not help. I don't know, after so many years it didn't evolved at all. Take a look at vue dev tools, are years ahead of this. | ||
2023-03-15 | It does what it says it does - lets you inspect React components, but its flaky as heck. Frequently errors out on me causing the element selection tool to no longer work, causing me to refresh the page. This interrupts my workflow constantly but I'm forced to work with this tool. | ||
2023-03-08 | The chrome extension was working fine and I have no errors in my React.js app in my visual studio code terminal. But now when I go to refresh my webpage, I get the error "Loading React Element Tree... If this seems stuck, please follow the troubleshooting instructions." I have read many solutions, but none seem to work for me. Has anyone experienced this issue before and been able to solve it. Solutions I have tried: updated chrome version remove react dev tools extension and reinstall it restarted computer restored to defaults on my inspect tools | ||
2023-02-28 | The rendered by section now shows react-dom@17.0.2 which is useless. It used to show a list of all the parent components when a component is selected. | ||
2023-02-17 | useless |
