Review Summary
The postMessage debugger Chrome extension is praised for being a convenient and effective tool for viewing postMessage events, especially messages involving iframes. Many users appreciate the time it saves during development and confirm it works as intended without malicious behavior. However, common issues include the need to manually enable 'Verbose' log levels to see messages, limited logged information about each message, and that it logs from only selected contexts by default. These limitations and occasional reports of malfunction reduce its ease of use and comprehensive debugging capabilities.
Pros
- Very convenient and useful for the development process involving postMessage.
- Effectively logs messages sent to iframes and messages received by the top frame.
- Saves time and effort compared to writing custom debugging tools.
- Works as advertised with no malicious behavior detected.
- Appreciated for helping troubleshoot messaging between iframes and parent windows.
Cons
- Requires users to enable 'Verbose' level in the console to see logs, which is not prominently mentioned.
- Limited logging details: currently only logs message data and window title, lacks important info like origin, source, ports, and lastEventId.
- Logs messages only from the chosen context by default, not all contexts, which limits comprehensive debugging.
- Some users report it not working at all, indicating occasional reliability issues.
