Activate CSS Overview Tab in Chrome πŸ’»

There's a cool new feature in Chrome. It's in the "experimental" features so it's still in development.

Steps to activate it you:

  • Open the dev tools - Command+Option+I on Mac & Control+Shift+I on Windows.
  • Click the settings button (it looks like a big cog).
  • Click the "Experiments" tab.
  • Check the "CSS Overview" option. βœ…
  • Close the menu (and you may need to reopen the dev tools).
  • Check out a shiny new "CSS Overview" tab.

Now to use it all you have to do is click "Capture Overview" to get the overview of any page.

I hope this tip helped and until the next one, happy coding! πŸ’œ
