Ray (ID: 00000055df299d47) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/26/2023 Great extension for Livewire v2.This is useless if you are planning to use Livewire v3. It recognizes Livewire is being used on a page, but does not activate the tool, instead you get this: "Livewire is detected on this page. Devtools inspection is not available because it's in production mode or explicitly disabled by the author." I know for a fact the site is not in production mode and it is not disabled. If this does not get fixed this tool will eventually be useless.
