User reviews
(Comment updated Jan '23, this extension seems abandoned, see edits)
Pros:
- Highlighting looks good
- You can change the indentation, I use two spaces
Cons:
- Clicking reset button is automatically saved, so if you click it accidentally you are screwed.
- Does not convert url(/images/img.png) to a link, which would be handy
- After prettifying the line numbering is completely useless, as it adds it separates lines. Notepad++ has a solution for this if you turn word wrapping on, this should be adopted.
Update:
1. I found in some cases the script actually changes. For example the minified version of Selectize 0.15.2 works fine if copied into chrome JS console and ran directly. If you use pretty print and then copy the code, it gives an error. In that example the Pretty Print extension converts """ to """ which causes a syntax error.
2. The colors are completely unusable because my source code page uses a dark background and the theme is designed for a light background. Half of the code isn't readable, so I have to get rid of it anyway. This has not been addressed since June 2022 and the extension hasn't been updated since 2012 lol.

What I wanted. Thanks for the work.
I think it'd be good if you add an option to revert the code back to its normal mode (un-beautified & un-indented). Currently, a workaround to do that, is though reloading the page.
