Віктор Єрмішов (ID: 000000af93e00a6c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Extremely good and useful devtools, but after releasing vue3 It has a million of buggies. If I don't open it right after loading my page it might not show vue plugin at all, or it can show not of all tabs in the devtools itself, sometimes when I choose components using selector it might just freeze and I need to completely close my tab and open it again and open devtools again. Please fix the buggies, because the devtools itself are extremely important for the development process. Thanks in advance!
