console.log timestamps in Chrome


Is there a quick way of getting Chrome to output timestamps in console.log writes (like Firefox does)?

Or is prepending new Date().getTime() the only option?


Solution

  • In Chrome, there is the option in Console Settings (Either press F1 or select Developer Tools -> Console -> Settings [upper-right corner] ) named "Show timestamps" which is exactly what I needed.

    I've just found it. No other dirty hacks needed that destroys placeholders and erases place in the code where the messages was logged from.

    Update for Chrome 68+

    The "Show timestamps" setting has been moved to the Preferences pane of the "DevTools settings", found in the upper-right corner of the DevTools drawer:
