How to Use Developer Tools

Opening the Developer Tools window

MacOS users, key combination: Option + Command + "i" ("eye", no quotes)

Windows OS / Linux OS users, key combination:

Control + Shift + "i" ("eye", no quotes) gets the Developer Tools > Network tab window

Control + Shift + "j" ("jay", no quotes) gets the Developer Tools > Console tab window

Or, use the F12 key ← also works for MacOS users.


On the first occasion of using Developer Tools, the Developer Tools “window” is usually a part of (contained within) its associated Brave Browser window . . . but you can make the Developer Tools window, a standalone window (though keeping its association with the Brave Browser window). I recommend that you do so:

In the upper right-hand corner of the Developer Tools window, there is an “Organizer” 3-vertical-dots button - click on that. The result should be a pop-up:

Notice the tiny blue icon that is first (left to right) among 4 that are to the right of “Dock side”. Click on that icon. The Developer Tools window will become a standalone window.
