Console Logger

Captures JavaScript console messages from the active tab, displays them live, and automatically saves them to a file.

Console Logger - Browser Extension A powerful Chromium browser extension that captures JavaScript console messages (log, warn, error, info) from any active tab, displays them live, and automatically saves them to a text file. Key Features: - Full Console Capture: Uses chrome.debugger API to catch all messages, including native browser errors that content scripts miss. - Deep Object Logging: Captures nested objects, arrays, and stack traces — not just string representations. - Live Monitoring: Real-time display of logs in the popup window. - Auto-Save: Periodically saves captured logs to your Downloads folder without prompting. - Custom Save Location: Choose where to save your logs with a file picker. - Smart Overwrite: Updates the same file (console-logs.txt) continuously, preventing file clutter. - Persistent Storage: Logs are stored locally and survive browser restarts. - Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. How to Use: 1. Navigate to the website you want to debug. 2. Click the extension icon to open the popup. 3. Click "Start Capturing". 4. Important: Your browser will show a warning banner: "Console Logger started debugging this browser". This is a security feature of the Debugger API. Monitoring Logs: - Logs appear immediately in the dark-themed console area. - Messages include timestamps and log levels. - Objects are serialized with full depth (configurable). Using Auto-Save: 1. Check the "Enable Auto-Save" box. 2. Set the Interval (default 30 seconds). 3. Set a Filename (default console-logs.txt). 4. The extension will silently overwrite this file in your Downloads folder. Set Custom Save Location: 1. Click "Set Save Location" to open a file picker. 2. Choose your preferred folder and filename. 3. The extension will display where logs are being saved. Important Usage Note: - You cannot capture logs from browser internal pages (chrome://, edge://, about:, etc.). Data Privacy: Console Logger stays 100% on your device. No data is sent to external servers. It is strictly a local developer tool. Open Source: https://github.com/IronAdamant/Console-logger
