The screenshot clearly shows that there is no developer console even after pressing F12. ;)

Dale Sorenson (ID: 000000e8dbc2e12f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/30/2022 Works if you have a window with only a single tab open with a web page loaded. Does NOT work in a window with no page loaded. Does NOT work in any window with multiple tabs open. Dear developer, this is a great extension, would you please update it? Thank you.

A. V. K. (ID: 000000efb66aa241) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/01/2022 F12 still opens while a page is loading. Not happy with that Google needs to what Microsoft Edge is doing. Edge has a disable setting in the settings og Edge.
