zDebug

Debug extension for Zend Debugger.
What is zDebug?
"zDebug" is a Chrome extension designed to simplify PHP debugging. It acts as a replacement for the Zend Studio Toolbar, enabling users to debug PHP directly inside their Chrome browser. The servers must be running Zend Server & Zend Debugger to fully leverage zDebug. A special feature includes automatic greying out of the icon when the cookie isn't found. Supported versions are led by the 0.1.7 update which features a new icon.

Works great with PhpStorm on Mac OS. Great workaround when the JetBrains "Debug" bookmarklets don't work.
