What’s your go-to tool for debugging JavaScript in 2025?

With all the new tools and extensions out there, I’m curious—what’s your go-to method for debugging JavaScript these days? Do you still rely on the browser’s dev tools, or have any new tools or workflows improved your debugging process? Let’s hear your thoughts!

console.log :smiley:

Besides that chromes dev-tools are pretty good.

I rarely use a real debugger in JavaScript - I do feel like it takes more time than it’s worth usually.

Honestly, just logging in the console. If using a framework, displaying values in the DOM just to make it easier to reload and not have the console open if its “simple” enough.

If I am having a really hard time, debugger, but I find it more annoying to clean up a ton of logs, debuggers, etc. and forces me to do a minor PR before a commit and these days I try to not create to much overhead while debugging and risk commiting something that makes me look silly or rushed, but maybe that’s just a personal preference over the “norm.”
