AI product readChrome DevTools extension for debugging and inspecting Vue.js applications
Provides developers with specialized tools to inspect, debug, and profile Vue.js applications directly in Chrome DevTools, which is not possible with standard browser DevTools alone
1. Install extension and navigate to a page with Vue.js. 2. Extension automatically detects Vue.js via content scripts (prepare.js runs at document_start in MAIN world). 3. Extension popup shows Vue detection status (enabled/disabled/Nuxt/VitePress). 4. Open Chrome DevTools and find the Vue panel. 5. Inspect component tree, view component state/props/events, debug application state. 6. Use graph visualization to understand component relationships.
Detects Vue.js presence on web pages and shows detection status in extension popupAdds dedicated Vue panel to Chrome DevTools for component inspectionDisplays component tree hierarchy with parent-child relationshipsInspects component state, props, computed properties, and emitted eventsSupports Vue 2 (with migration guide to Vue 3) and Vue 3 applicationsDetects and provides specialized icons for Nuxt and VitePress frameworks
- Target users
- Vue.js developers / Frontend developers building with Vue.js framework / Developers using Nuxt.js or VitePress / Frontend developers debugging Vue component hierarchies and state
- The extension source code is minified, making some analysis less precise. However, the core architecture is clear from entry files and manifest.
- Cannot verify if external Vue.js ecosystem tools (like Vue DevTools desktop app or VS Code extension) have paid features, but this Chrome extension itself is completely free.
- The large vis.js graph visualization library (1.9MB) contains many false positive keyword matches that are part of the library code, not the extension's own functionality.
MonetizationNo paid features detected
Vue.js devtools is a completely free, open-source developer tool (GitHub: vuejs/devtools). There are no payment mechanisms, subscription models, feature gating, or upgrade prompts anywhere in the codebase. The 'pro' keyword matches are all false positives hitting Vue component 'props' properties and Object.prototype methods. The extension has no integration with payment platforms, no billing APIs, and no premium feature indicators.

- Reason
- Vue.js devtools is a local browser extension that works entirely within Chrome DevTools without requiring any user authentication or account creation. The extension operates by injecting scripts into pages to detect Vue.js instances and communicate with a devtools panel. No login UI, authentication flows, or account management features exist in the codebase. The keyword matches for 'token', 'session', 'account', and 'auth' are all false positives from the vis.js graph visualization library (HammerJS touch sessions), DOM token lists, MIT license text, and mathematical comments like 'accounting for the positions'.
nice tool
Please fix this. It doesn't work anymore
At the beginning it was the greatest tool to have, now its getting worse and worse barely unusable.
Not working. Even though icon is green and says vue.js is detected, no new tab in Chrom Devtools appears.
Lo estoy usando hace poco pero me ha gustado bastante. Puede que hayan algunas cosas que pulir pero nada que imposibilite el trabajo.
I don't know what has been going on with this in the past year. It just keeps getting worse. Locks up constantly to the point it is nearly unusable.
It's broken for a long time. Please fix issues 🙏 It was my usefull tool
sigue el problema de no poder hacer uso de la APP, sin poder ser visualizado en el inspector de elementos
The extension has been working poorly lately. I open the devtools, select the component with a picker on the page, it does not show the prop and the rest. Then I close the devtools. I open it again, now it shows the prop of the selected component, but the picker no longer works.
Unfortunately I have to confirm that the VUE JS dev tool gets stuck somehow more often than not.
