Chrome Developer Tools define a convenient $ function (as well as a few other conveniences). When using jQuery, however, it is convenient to have $ = jQuery. Is it possible to disable Chrome's autodefined $ function without disabling the more convenient definitions (like $0)?
Chrome's autodefined $ is supplanted by any function that may be on the page. Open a console on StackOverflow, for instance, and type $ === jQuery and you should get true. Unless I've misunderstood you, there is no need to disable Chrome's default $ to make room for other functions.
