Debug your user's browser remotely via Chrome DevTools.

DevTools Remote enables you to share access to a browser tab,

so it can be debugged remotely via Chrome DevTools.

### How does it work?

1. A simple gateway that acts like a proxy between Chrome and Chrome DevTools.

2. The user needs to install a little extension to allow access to Chrome debugger, and to connect to the gateway.

3. A unique link is generated that connects the browser and DevTools over a WebSocket connection.
