Shanice (ID: 0000001d06f4da76) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/16/2020 Every debug extension in the web store does not work. I've tried allowing access and no luck. Not sure if they're in need of an update or not, but there should be a small guide for troubleshooting.

Mirna Falkner (ID: 0000001093f1d1d7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/19/2018 For some reason, sometimes the Pesticide tool would work, but other times nothing would happen... :/ After some frustration with this, I dug around, found this tool (simple-debug.css) and installed it. On all the sites that Pesticide ignored, this tool worked perfectly! My only "complaint" is that it darkens the page, but it does work 100% of the time. I'm so glad I found this!
