yeah, I love to put little tools i write in here like Angular js debug functions

If you are new to dev tools then yes. But if you have been using it for a while and don't have any upfront "What's New in Devtools" when Chrome automatically updates then you prolly won't notice it. I certainly didn't.

#5In the 80s home computers shipped with a programming language as their OS (BASIC language to be precise) - today the browser dev tools are the closest equivalent. You can use them on any PC with no additional software - wished it was made more obvious so everyone could experiment with programming like those of us who got their first computer experience 25-30 years ago could do.

#7Is that possible to run these snippets automatically once page is loaded? I guess this will raise some security issues if it's possible, but I don't want to use things like Tampermonkey anymore.

#8Speaking of text editors within browser dev tools, I like Scratchpad quite a bit. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Scratchpad
It's built-in in Firefox, but can be installed on Chrome as well.

The browser has always been the one of the easiest ways of tinkering with programming, but these days our browsers come with sophisticated developer tools unlike anything else installed on an average person's PC.
Back when I didn't know anything about compilers I wanted to write 'C++' but didn't understand how I could produce an executable, I instead saved html and js into folder and loaded them up in the browser -- and any changes were visible on refresh.
And actually, these days this tinkering doesn't even have to take place locally. With sites like jsfiddle, anyone can develop remotely while still being able to debug the execution from the browser.
