Chrome "throttling" toggle on/off HOTKEY


I often:

  • turn off throttling through dropdown
  • hit refresh
  • turn on throttling through dropdown

It's a bit of a task each time! I can't just click the 'phone' button because that doesn't load the page properly when refreshing

Is there a hotkey to enable/disable ONLY throttling, not phone view, not dev-tools in general, but SPECIFICALLY and ONLY throttling?


Solution

  • Chrome fixed this. They now have an 'offline' checkbox within network, and it is now separated from the phone view.

    It's still 3 clicks, but no longer 5 clicks + scrolling/picking from a dropdown

    What would be great would be a way to control developer tools from the page javascript, basically telling the page when to go offline. This way, you could refresh and never touch the offline button, 1 click.
