Quick Console bookmarklet for Desktop and Mobile

Paul Kinlan

This blog post introduces a simple bookmarklet that provides quick access to a webpage's JavaScript console logs, warnings, and errors directly on desktop and mobile devices. It eliminates the need for connecting to Chrome DevTools, especially useful for quick debugging on mobile. The bookmarklet creates a small, expandable element at the bottom of the page that displays console outputs and keeps a running tally.
