Prevent chrome from stealing focus


Is there a way to prevent the chrome dev tools from stealing the focus if you stop the debugger / reach a breakpoint?

I'm debugging with intellij js debug and chrome is stealing its focus on every step.


Solution

  • In the Chrome DevTools Settings under Preferences -> Sources, there is an option "Focus Sources panel when triggering a breakpoint". Disabling this option seems to fix the issue.
