The Story Behind DevTraceShield
🎧 The Genesys Cloud Support Loop of Doom
Day 1: "The softphone dropped my call!"
IT: "Can you reproduce it?"
User: "It's random..."
Day 3: It happens again. Open vendor support ticket.
Vendor: "Please enable Chrome DevTools logging and send us the HAR file."
IT: "But it already happened..."
Day 7: Send company-wide email: "REMEMBER TO ENABLE LOGGING!"
Day 8: User closes browser. Logging disabled. 🤦♂️
Day 15: Issue happens again. No logs. Again.
Vendor: "We can't help without logs..."
🔥 The Breaking Point: After the 50th time explaining to call center agents how to enable DevTools logging (and them still forgetting), we built DevTraceShield. Install once, capture everything, never miss another bug.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DevTraceShield
🔒 Is my data really private? Where are logs stored? +
Yes, 100% private. All logs are stored locally in your browser's storage (IndexedDB). No data ever leaves your machine unless you explicitly export it. We don't have servers, we don't collect telemetry, and we can't see your logs. It's technically impossible for us to access your debugging data.
⚡ Will it slow down my application? +
No. DevTraceShield is designed for zero performance impact. We use efficient circular buffers, batch processing, and Web Workers for heavy operations. In our benchmarks, the overhead is less than 0.1% - completely negligible. The extension only activates on tabs you're debugging.
🤔 How does it capture logs if Chrome crashes? +
We continuously save logs to browser storage (IndexedDB) which persists even if Chrome crashes. When you restart Chrome, all your logs are still there. We also use service workers to ensure logs are captured even during page transitions and reloads.
💰 What's the difference between Free and Pro? +
Free: 1,000 log limit, single tab, 24-hour retention, JSON export only.
Pro ($19/mo): Unlimited logs, multi-tab capture, 30-day retention, all export formats (HAR, CSV, TXT), advanced filtering, regex search, and priority support.
The free tier is perfect for trying it out. Most developers upgrade within a week when they realize how much time it saves.
🌐 Does it work with other browsers? +
Currently Chrome and Chromium-based browsers only (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera). We're focused on making the Chrome experience perfect before expanding. Firefox version is on our roadmap for Q3 2025.
🔧 Can I integrate it with my existing tools? +
Yes! Export logs in various formats:
- HAR files for Chrome DevTools
- JSON for custom processing
- CSV for Excel/Google Sheets
- TXT for simple sharing
Pro users can also use our webhook integration to automatically send logs to your logging infrastructure.
Built by Developers Who Get It
We've been in your shoes, debugging at 3am without logs
DevTraceShield was born from frustration. After countless support tickets where users "forgot" to enable Chrome DevTools logging before issues happened, we knew there had to be a better way.
So we built the tool we wished existed - one that's always on, always capturing, and ready when you need it. No more missed bugs. No more "can you reproduce it with logging on?"
Our Core Principles
Privacy First
Your logs never leave your machine. We can't see them, sell them, or analyze them.
Performance Matters
Built to capture everything without slowing down your application.
Developer Focused
Every feature solves a real problem we've experienced ourselves.
Our Mission
To ensure no developer ever loses critical debugging information again. Because the best time to capture logs is before you need them.
