Matthew Gregory (ID: 000000ec063a634a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/14/2023 Trying to filter developer traffic in GA4. Have the data filter setup in GA4 correctly but not sure how to enable debug mode. Supposedly this should do it, but don't think it's working. Didn't have high expectations since this was updated back in 2019.

John Egan (ID: 0000003871bc049e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/05/2023 Seems to work, even though Google hasn't touched it in 3.5 years. And, I was not able to find any documentation on how to properly use this or interpret the results. Google is one of the wealthiest companies on the planet, yet they can't find their way to hire a small team to maintain and document this tool? Typical Google Greed.

Eduardo Mota (ID: 000000d026de4e46) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/11/2023 It used to work perfectly with the previous version but now, with GA4 doesn't work anymore.

Adrianne Gosselin (ID: 00000064df76cf4e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/16/2022 As of today this is the extension Google recommends we use to Debug GA4 events. Works great!

TJ Claridge (ID: 0000004f3722afbd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/24/2022 Sadly I can't use this because we apparently have 5,000 "Debug devices" with similar names. Until they fix this... it is useless and we can't validate any tracking. How did they miss this?
