User reviews

Login works as previous review mentions. Was affected by Chrome's Manifest v3 update but Shopify has since updated it to work again using https://www.speedscope.app/. So works great except please let us increase the font size as it's tiny and I don't want to have to increase the font size in all the DevTools.

I have not encountered any issues with the sign-in process as others have reported. When you attempt to sign in, a pop-up window will appear asking you to log in to your Shopify account. After you have signed in, the app should work as intended. Make sure to wait until the icon turns green before trying to log in. After logging in, use Chrome DevTools by right-clicking on the page, selecting "Inspect," navigating to the "Shopify" tab, and pressing the reload icon.

Same issue as below... can't actually use it because of a "sign in" glitch where the loading wheel just continues to spin indefinitely. Recommend that Shopify either fix this or discontinue the plug-in to avoid wasting future users time.
