Worth knowing you can use proper devtools on mobile devices too, but remotely.

Visit chrome://inspect/#devices in a chromium based browser, and you'll see a list of remote targets that you can connect to.

They include browsers running on any device connectable via ADB. You can also debug over the network, debug headless browsers, and debug nodejs and webdriver instances.

I use this functionality a lot, however note that the ADB functionality over Chrome sometimes interferes with Android Studio or ADB running locally, so make sure to run `adb kill-server` if Chrome can't find connected devices.
I love using that to debug Deno CLI commands and servers using a proper luxuriously designed debugger.

So much nicer than the archaic TUI (PuDB) I use to debug Python.
