v3.0.0 DevTools-native redesign is here

Debug React Apps
Like a Pro

Advanced debugging and performance optimization tool for React applications. Detect issues, monitor performance, and debug Redux state—all in one extension.

Powerful Features

Everything you need to debug and optimize your React applications

DASH

Dashboard NEW

Severity KPIs, a render-pressure sparkline, top offenders at a glance, and page-load vitals — the first thing you see when you open the panel.

PERF

Profiler & Charts NEW

Memory heap-over-time and render-distribution charts, drawn with a custom ChartCanvas — no chart library dependencies.

RDX

State

View the Redux state tree, dispatch actions manually, and debug state changes as they happen.

FX

Effects

Find missing cleanup functions, dependency issues, and stale-closure-async bugs in your useEffect hooks.

8X

8 New Detectors NEW

Catch unstable list keys, hydration mismatches, context cascades, and suspense waterfalls — plus stale-closure-async, inline-handler-cost, and ref-mutation-during-render.

SET

Settings NEW

Bring your own API key (BYOK) for any AI provider, connect the MCP server for LLM coding agents, and control anonymous telemetry — opt-in and off by default.

Quick Installation

Get up and running in minutes

NPX Install Recommended

The fastest way to get started. Run a single command:

npx react-debugger

Then load the extension in Chrome:

  1. Open chrome://extensions/
  2. Enable Developer mode
  3. Click "Load unpacked"
  4. Select the downloaded folder

Build from Source

Clone and build the extension yourself:

git clone https://github.com/hoainho/react-debugger-extension.git
cd react-debugger-extension
npm install
npm run build

Then load the dist folder in Chrome using the same steps above.
