I'm on Windows 7 running Google Chrome 41 and somehow my developer tools are disabled. Inspect Element
in the context menu is grayed out, all the Developer options under the hamburger and More Tools are also grayed, and there doesn't seem to be anyway around it.
I've found this SO question but I couldn't find "disabled": true
in my Preferences file. I've checked and Chrome isn't starting with the --disable-dev-tools
flag either. I've wandered through the registry looking for an entry that might be causing this but so far I've found no way to re-enable devtools. I am a developer, I need them.
How can I re-enable Chrome's Developer Tools?
