Enhanced DevTools Extension

Enhanced DevTools, a Chrome Extension created to help Web Developers test faster and run custom functions on the front end.

These tools allow you to filter single or multiple keywords within a link on a page (by looking at the href). You can also write custom javascript which can run on each page for testing your front end. Extremely useful when you want to detect if certain element exists on a current page.

I hope this tool can enhance your development and increase your productivity.

Please note this is an early release and is likely to have some bugs.
Feel free to report any bugs or feature suggestions.

Raymond Sam (ID: 000000c7768d5830) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/05/2020 Good little tool, helpful for testing staging website with production, making sure all links are pointing to the correct domain. The custom js feature is awesome! It can write scripts to check if the page has the meta noindex, nofollow, if Google analytics exist, highlight certain keywords on the page... And a lot of other possible use cases. This tool allows me to test JavaScripts on all pages of the website. Write once, refresh and test. No need to repeat and write on the console everytime you refresh. Good start. Very handy
