How can I inspect element on a Chromebook when inspection is disabled?


I am on a Chromebook controlled by an administration that has disabled the usual Chrome inspection. I am also not allowed to take it out of this administrative lock.

Is there a website available that would allow me to inspect element as a part of that website?

Is there some other way for me to be able to access the console log of a page?

I just need to do some debugging of a program, but I can't find out how to tell if there's an error or not since I can't access the console of the page.


Solution

  • No, there is no site or other method available. Usually business and school administration offices disable this on a Chromebook because they give the device to you to use for work, therefore disabling access to certain websites and features. They don't want you to mess around with their devices.

    There are 3 solutions to this;

    1. Buy a personal Chromebook.

    2. Confront the administrator about enabling this feature.

    3. Use any Windows or Mac computer, because they allow Inspect Element on desktops for certain reasons.

    I hoped this answered your question.
