How I debug faster with these Chrome DevTools Console features

SMRTR summary

Chrome DevTools provides console features to enhance debugging efficiency, including shorthand commands like $() and $$() for element selection, inspect() for quick inspection, and debug() for breakpoints. monitor() tracks function calls, while monitorEvents() logs DOM events. Live expressions enable real-time variable monitoring, and filtering options manage console output. These tools streamline debugging, reduce breakpoint reliance, and create a more productive, command-line-like workflow.
