Can this be moved up in prio, it’s pretty painful for heavy dev tools usage…

Been using Firefox all day - it’s come on nicely since I last used it in anger I must say. Finding source files is better than Chrome I think.

@bsclifton But yeah, just reloaded Chrome, it updated to 79.0.3945.117 and the highlighting is back.

I’m getting this on Google Chrome this morning too. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Seems to have broken the ability to mouse over variables and objects too.

Im experiencing this on Google Chrome. Anyone has an idea?

Thank you for the Information, Brian 😃

@bsclifton I don’t think this is a duplicate of the remote debugging issue. I don’t use remote debugging, just regular pages in the browser.

Thanks for the report, @tiagosiebler! This is something we’ve fixed in Developer and Nightly versions of Brave (1.3 and higher) with https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/4044

In those versions, there is a new setting you can enabled Remote Debugging under brave://settings/privacy which will fix this. I’ve created a pull request to try and pull this in earlier (1.2, which ships ~January 6) with https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/4228
