How to make Developer Tools in MS Edge to default to Console tab instead of Sources?

3k Views Asked by At

Whenever I open the Developer Tools or if the web page is refreshed, Tools will switch to the Sources tab.

When I'm debugging code, I want it to stay on the Console tab. Is there a way to do this? Or even keep Console on-top.

Well, I've searched about this issue and I found that there is a setting in the default configuration of the developer tools to automatically foucus the Resource tab when a breakpoint is triggered, this should be the cause of the problem.

But you can disable this option by following these steps:

  1. In Edge, open devtools in any way.
  2. Focus in devtools and press key F1 to open settings panel.
  3. In Preferences tab, scroll down and find the option Focus Sources panel when triggering a breakpoint.
  4. Uncheck this option and restart open devtools.
