  You still can. I did it just now with this text field form. Hit pause, and then the next event (focusing the text field) caused it to break.

  it's undermined by `debugger` statements these days designed to make it difficult to inspect page content

    How does that work? I'm not familiar.

      Not seen that one before, but a smart trick. "The debugger statement invokes any available debugging functionality, such as setting a breakpoint. If no debugging functionality is available, this statement has no effect."
    • tetris11 2y ago
      If you try to inspect the page, the code will run up to the next debugger statement, where one was purposefully inserted near the top of the code. If you try to continue past it, it just loops back onto the debugger statement. If you load the page normally without inspecting it, these debugger statements are ignored.

  yes you can step though and set break points, don't ask me how tho, I've not used it seriously enough to remember. You could attempt to read google documentation and spend hours not learning how to do something.
